Practical approaches for online care
Paula uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks concerns into manageable steps and is useful for anxiety, depression, and daily routines.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. That approach focuses on gentle questions and reflection to build motivation for new habits and goals. Solution-Focused Therapy is another tool she uses to identify immediate strengths and small, practical solutions people can try right away.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of Paula's process. She works collaboratively with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy with Paula is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues.
