How Paulette Uses Evidence-Informed Methods Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience through empathetic listening and validation, helping clients articulate their goals and build self-awareness; it supports issues like shame, isolation, grief, and interpersonal struggles by prioritizing the client's perspective and strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers structured, skills-based strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical coping tools for anxiety, depression, mood regulation, and stress management. Motivational interviewing helps when readiness for change is mixed by exploring ambivalence and enhancing motivation to pursue meaningful steps toward goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Paulette will work with each client to explore which methods fit their needs, preferences, and goals, adapting techniques over time so therapy remains focused and practical. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what is most useful for the individual.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with communication. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions or when in-person visits are difficult, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on skill-building, problem solving, and emotional processing in formats that suit the client.
