Therapeutic Approaches for Working Online

Paula uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for changing behavior, a method often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for those coping with intense feelings and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Paula works with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to therapy, and she adapts plans as progress is made.

Online sessions allow flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access support from home. These formats support ongoing skills practice and check-ins between sessions, helping clients apply what they learn in everyday life.
