Remote sessions that use ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused methods
Paula offers online work using approaches that are described in her clinical profile: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is presented in accessible terms as a way to notice thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect personal values. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore ambivalence and support movement toward goals that matter to the individual. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying practical steps and small changes that build on existing strengths.
This combination can appeal to people who prefer a collaborative and goal-oriented process that still attends to inner experience. Sessions emphasize mutual planning and short-term, action-oriented conversations when appropriate. Paula offers remote contact by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so that people can choose the format that fits their day-to-day life and communication preferences.
Prospective clients can discuss which mix of approaches and communication channels feels most useful at the start of work together.
