Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Paula Green draws on several evidence-based approaches to support clients in an online format. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead to explore values, feelings, and goals - it helps people increase self-awareness and make choices that align with their needs.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is often used to build coping skills and address patterns that interfere with daily functioning.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach frequently used for processing traumatic memories; it combines structured protocols with techniques that can reduce the intensity of distress linked to past events.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Paula works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts methods over time so therapy fits the individual or family's situation.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy lives and to connect with a licensed professional from different locations. These options can increase access to ongoing support and allow therapists and clients to focus on progress in practical, adaptable ways.
