Paula Peterson is a licensed counselor with 16 years of clinical experience who works with adults and adolescents in Wisconsin. She is licensed to practice in Wisconsin as a professional counselor and is separately licensed as a clinical mental health counselor in New Hampshire (WI LPC 3934-125, NH LCMHC 3556).
Paula earned a degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Stout and has practiced in both day treatment and outpatient settings. She brings experience addressing trauma, anxiety, self-worth and self-esteem concerns, life transitions, grief and loss, and anger management. She also works with addictions, depression, spiritual struggles, relationship difficulties, family conflict, compassion fatigue, career challenges, and coping with significant life changes.
Paula’s approach is grounded in the belief that people have an innate capacity to navigate life’s challenges, and she aims to draw out that capacity within the therapeutic relationship. She welcomes contact from people who feel her background and focus may be a good match, and she hopes anyone who does not feel a fit will find a therapist who meets their needs.
For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care. It can be a practical option for people seeking support for these kinds of challenges.
One of the main advantages of remote counseling is convenience. Clients can meet with therapists in the format that fits their schedule and comfort level - video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or in-app messaging - making it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life.
All therapists are licensed professionals, and if someone feels they need a different match, they can switch therapists at any time. Online therapy offers a flexible way to access professional support while keeping the same focus on therapeutic progress and personal growth.
