About Paulette

Paulette Plummer brings 26 years of clinical experience to her North Carolina practice, helping people who are facing stress, mood changes, and life transitions. She works with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, grief, anger, and the everyday pressures of relationships and careers.

Background and approach

Paulette aims to create a space where clients can clarify goals and build practical coping skills. Her style blends empathy with structured techniques drawn from evidence-informed approaches.

She addresses family and communication struggles, parenting challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, and the impacts of multicultural and immigration-related stress. Paulette pays particular attention to issues like abandonment, isolation, shame, impulsivity, and problems that arise after disasters or separations.

Licensed as an LCSW in North Carolina and LISW-CP in South Carolina, she combines client-centered listening with cognitive and solution-focused methods to help clients move forward. Paulette emphasizes collaborative care that respects each person’s background and priorities as they work on emotional healing, improved relationships, and practical strategies for daily life.

Integrating structured approaches with flexible online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration to help people explore their values, feelings, and personal goals. It is useful for those seeking to increase self-understanding and to shape therapy around what matters most to them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, with practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and improve day-to-day functioning. Motivational interviewing complements these methods by helping clients clarify their reasons for change and build internal motivation for new habits.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Paulette will work with each client to determine which combination of techniques best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods over time as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video or phone plus live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. These options support continuity of care and allow clients to use formats that feel most convenient and accessible while working on coping skills, communication, and problem-solving from wherever they are.
