How Paula's Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy puts the person's goals and experience first, so sessions focus on what matters most to the client and follow their pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to find practical changes that reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing techniques to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paula will discuss how different methods might help and tailor sessions based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
