Her style is interactive and down-to-earth. She encourages clients to test what works for them and leave what does not.
How Paula works
Sessions are shaped around each person’s real needs and goals. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That means she helps people spot patterns in their thinking, practice new coping skills, and build daily habits that reduce stress.
Mindfulness work focuses on noticing reactions without judgment so change becomes possible. Paula has five years of clinical experience and holds LCSW credentials in Tennessee and Florida. She draws on that background to support people through grief, relationship and family concerns, anger, career questions, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, and other challenges.
She also works with issues like abandonment, attachment problems, blended family dynamics, and communication difficulties. Her sessions are practical and centered on small, achievable steps. Paula usually checks messages Monday through Friday and replies as she can while balancing client care and professional responsibilities.
She encourages people to be kind to themselves and to view therapy as an investment in long-term wellbeing.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Paula uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT often involves short practical exercises and homework that fit well into video or messaging formats.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. Mindfulness exercises can be led during a video call or reinforced through brief text check-ins.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paula collaborates with clients to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what proves useful, so the plan evolves with progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging are all available. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break. Chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or have shorter focused conversations. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent with a busy life while still working toward meaningful change.
