Client-Centered and CBT Support Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic space where the client leads the pace and direction of sessions. This approach helps people explore feelings, build self-awareness and strengthen self-worth, making it useful for relationship concerns, low self-esteem and emotional recovery after trauma.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying and gently challenging unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, then practicing new ways of responding. CBT is often used to address anxiety, depression, panic, obsessive patterns and difficulties with mood and coping.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Paulette works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options and adapt methods as therapy progresses so the work remains aligned with the client’s priorities.

Online therapy with Paulette is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility to choose the format that suits a person’s schedule and comfort. This range of options makes it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals, including when clients are in different locations or need sessions that fit around other commitments.
