About Paula

Paula Green, LCPC, LPCC, helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and family-related concerns. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that can reduce daily overwhelm. Paula has two decades of clinical experience and uses that background to shape straightforward care. Paula works from a client-centered stance that values each person's goals. She blends talk therapy with skills-based methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness. For trauma-related concerns she also uses EMDR and approaches that address intense or dissociative responses. Her background includes work in clinics and private practice settings. She has extensive experience supporting people affected by domestic violence and sexual assault, including work linked to courts and shelter environments. Paula also spent years counseling in outpatient and partial hospitalization programs for neurobehavioral concerns. Paula often helps people cope with life changes such as adoption and foster care transitions, blended family stress, caregiving burdens, and challenges tied to body image or isolation. She also supports those facing communication problems, impulsivity, guilt, shame, and family of origin issues. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills practice, and building manageable routines. Paula aims to create a collaborative plan so people learn tools they can use outside sessions. She accepts clients who prefer English-language care and works with international clients when appropriate.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding goals, and shaping sessions around the person. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to set their own priorities for change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with daily routines because homework and skill practice transfer well to remote formats.

EMDR addresses memories that continue to cause distress by guiding attention in structured ways during sessions. It can be used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and is adaptable to video or phone formats when clinically appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan based on progress and preferences. That collaborative process helps make therapy feel relevant and practical.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for longer sessions and visual connection, phone works with lower bandwidth or when video is not convenient, live chat lets someone check in quickly, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing skills practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different time zones.
