Paula Lowden, LPC

Approaches that guide online sessions

Paula often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still take steps toward what matters to them. This approach can be useful for grief, low self-esteem, and decisions about life purpose or midlife changes.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the client’s pace. That approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through relationship strain, parenting stress, or caregiver burden.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paula will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. She tailors methods so the plan fits the problem and can change the approach as needs shift over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let visual cues guide the conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins between meetings, and text-based work can support ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules and to try different formats as life changes.
