Paige is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington.
Background and approach
She brings six years of clinical experience supporting people with mood disorders, panic attacks, bipolar symptoms, and substance concerns. She also helps people cope with relationship stress, grief, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to identity and intimacy. In sessions she learns about biological, psychological, and social factors that shape a person’s life.
That background guides a plan tailored to each person’s needs. Techniques come from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical skills, mindfulness, and trauma-focused work. Therapy with Paige tends to focus on clear, usable tools.
People leave sessions with practical strategies for managing symptoms, improving communication, and handling emotional setbacks. She aims to help clients notice progress and adjust plans as needed. Paige works with people on concerns including addiction, anger, self-esteem, isolation, and money-related stress.
She also offers support around abandonment, commitment struggles, kink and BDSM matters, and veteran-related issues. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, centered on helping people move toward healthier routines and better coping.

04Online support
How Paige’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship, so online sessions begin with time to understand each person's story and goals. This approach helps prioritize what matters most to the client and shapes the plan for treatment.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions use simple exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills offer concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication. In remote sessions these skills are practiced, reviewed, and adapted to real-life situations the client faces between meetings.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the client’s needs, and adjust plans if something isn’t working. Decisions are based on goals, preferences, and what proves helpful in session.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises that need visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow ongoing support, brief check-ins, and flexible communication for people with busy schedules or unpredictable days.
