Remote care tailored with ACT, CBT, and client-centered support
Paula adapts Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to identify values that guide meaningful action. In online sessions she may introduce experiential exercises and practical steps that encourage living in line with what matters most to the client.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, or mood difficulties. Through collaboration she can offer skill-building strategies aimed at changing unhelpful patterns and developing coping tools that are practical for everyday life.
Client-centered therapy provides a conversational frame in which the client’s perspective leads the work. Paula combines these approaches to fit the needs and goals a person brings to therapy. Online care is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences.
