Online support options
Evidence-based approaches for online healing
Many of Paulette's methods come from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and recovery. One common approach teaches grounding and coping skills for anxiety and stress - simple exercises to calm the nervous system and handle intense moments. Another approach is trauma-focused work that slowly helps process painful memories while building safety and emotional regulation in manageable steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work she does with each person. Paulette collaborates with clients to identify what feels helpful, adjusts techniques based on progress, and checks in about goals and preferences. The process is shared so clients can see what helps and what needs changing.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy schedules. Video calls let people connect face-to-face when sitting down for a longer session is possible. Phone sessions can be an easier option when video is not needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick guidance between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit consistent support into daily life.
