04Online support
Therapeutic approaches suited to online care
Paula often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques to help people manage anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, while mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity.She also uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on the individual's goals and values. This approach means the therapist listens carefully, reflects what matters most, and works with the person to shape the plan collaboratively. Paula will help you decide which approach or combination fits your needs and preferences over time.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you work face to face when you want that connection; phone can be easier when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when you need flexibility around work or caregiving. These options make it possible to receive consistent care across different schedules and situations.
