About Paula
Paula Green is a licensed therapist with two decades of clinical experience who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes.
Background and approach
She brings a history of work in both clinic and independent practice settings, including long-term involvement with services for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and counseling in outpatient and partial hospitalization programs. Paula draws on a range of approaches to tailor support to each person's needs and goals.
With a background that includes training in child sexual abuse prevention and extensive time working with children and families, she aims to create practical strategies and greater insight so clients can feel and function better.
Paula emphasizes collaboration in building a plan that fits each individual's circumstances, whether addressing caregiver stress, communication problems, dissociation, or struggles with isolation and self-image. Licensed as an LCPC and an LPCC, she practices from New Mexico and accepts clients from various locations, offering flexible formats to suit different schedules and preferences.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work
Paula commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental stance that helps people explore their goals and feel heard. When appropriate, Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are incorporated to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for intense emotional states.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process; Paula works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, preferences, and goals. She tailors interventions over time, combining skill-building and empathic listening so the treatment plan evolves alongside progress and changing priorities.
Online therapy with Paula is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, continue work between appointments, and maintain momentum when in-person meetings are impractical, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver consistent care across distances.
