About Paula
Paula Christian-Stallworth brings 27 years of clinical experience to her work and practices as an LPC licensed in Colorado and Georgia. She focuses on helping people facing addictions, relationship and family struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, and challenges around self-esteem and life purpose.
Background and approach
Her practice emphasizes compassionate listening and practical strategies aimed at restoring balance and forward movement. Paula draws on a blend of therapeutic perspectives to meet each person where they are, combining cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered care, mindfulness, existential reflection, and motivational interviewing.
She works with issues ranging from process and substance addictions to communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and end-of-life concerns. Her style is attentive to cultural context and individual background, supporting clients through recovery, transition, and meaning-making.
In sessions she attends to both immediate coping needs and longer-term growth, integrating skill-building with exploration of values and purpose. People seeking assistance with career stress, anger, self-love, or veteran-related concerns may find her approach both pragmatic and affirming.
Paula’s stated aim is to accompany clients as they build resilience and create meaningful change.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Paula uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete coping skills for issues like anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. She also practices client-centered therapy, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client's perspective guides the pace and focus of work. These approaches can complement one another by pairing practical behavior change with empathic listening and personal exploration.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time to align with what proves most helpful. This collaborative stance aims to empower clients to make choices about their care and to try strategies that fit their life and values.
Online therapy offers flexible access to these methods through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use shorter check-ins or longer conversations as needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, client-centered techniques, and mindfulness practices to work well in remote formats and support steady progress toward clients' goals.
