How Paula’s approaches work for online sessions
Paula uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that feed anxiety or low mood. CBT is practical and often includes short exercises or homework to try between meetings. It can help with social anxiety, stress, and many everyday problems.She also draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of her. That approach shapes how sessions are run so the work stays relevant to each person's goals. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used to manage strong emotions and improve coping when things feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paula will discuss different methods and together they will decide what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process with adjustments over time.
