How these approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Paul uses client-centered therapy to make room for honest, empathic listening. In this approach she focuses on your experience, reflects what she hears, and helps you identify next steps. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and building self-esteem.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape relationships and attachment. EFT helps people notice patterns in how they react and try new ways of connecting and responding to one another. That work can be helpful for intimacy-related issues and relationship strain.
Finding the best fit is part of the process. The therapist will work together with you to decide which approach or combination suits your needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift focus over time as concerns change and progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, so sessions can match your schedule and energy. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and watching emotional cues. Phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or you need a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow brief reflections or ongoing contact between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
