Paulette Plummer, LCSW, LISW-CP

Paulette Plummer is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. She brings 26 years of experience and a calm, straightforward style to sessions. Her aim is to help people find clearer communication and stronger coping skills. She works from North Carolina and conducts sessions in English.

Clients often come with family conflict, parenting strain, mood concerns, or the fallout of trauma and abuse. Paulette pays attention to multicultural concerns, shame, isolation, and issues linked to adoption, foster care, and immigration. She also addresses ADHD, bipolar conditions, and problems with impulsivity or anger.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused methods. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their motivation for change and to set realistic goals. In sessions she listens first, then helps you try steps that feel doable in daily life.

Paulette emphasizes concrete skills: improving communication, managing strong emotions, and building routines that support mood and focus. She encourages short-term problem solving when that fits, and deeper exploration when people need it. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Session costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Paulette uses Client-Centered Therapy to ground meetings in the person’s experience. This approach focuses on listening closely and letting the client lead the topics so therapy reflects what matters most to them.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood. CBT helps people develop practical strategies for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and mood regulation by testing small changes and tracking results.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Paulette works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She may emphasize short-term solutions for practical problems or take more time to work through deeper patterns depending on what the client wants.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins on progress. Some formats also let people choose shorter or audio-only meetings when that better fits a schedule or bandwidth. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can help decide which arrangement will best support your goals.
