Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access
Paula works with several complementary therapeutic approaches tailored to individual needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it is often used for anxiety, stress, and persistent unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and early attachment experiences to improve connection, trust, and patterns in close relationships, which can be helpful for trauma, relationship difficulties, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead to foster self-understanding and personal growth, useful for self-esteem, confidence, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Paula works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to explore which methods fit best given a person's goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adapts her approach as therapy progresses.
Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible through flexible options. Paula offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose formats that suit their schedules and comfort levels while maintaining continuity of care.
