How Paulette Uses Practical Therapies Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the individual. The therapist follows the client's lead and creates space for personal values and cultural background to shape goals. This approach helps when people need acceptance and a steady place to sort out feelings.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches specific skills to shift unhelpful thinking and develop new habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, mood concerns, and for managing ADHD-related challenges in daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paulette will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and practical needs, then choose methods that fit. That makes sessions more collaborative and focused on what the client wants to change.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and shared materials, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text work well for shorter check-ins or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
