Therapeutic approaches and online support

Paula integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship where the person’s own goals guide the work - it is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life changes. CBT offers practical techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be effective for anxiety, mood difficulties, and stress management. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, a helpful tool for managing anxiety, persistent worry, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Paula works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions so the chosen strategies fit the client’s situation and evolves the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Paula is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make engaging in therapy more accessible for people balancing work, caregiving, or mobility limitations, and allow Paula to support clients in ways that suit their daily lives.
