How Paulette’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client’s experience without judgment. Online work can keep that same listening-first stance while letting people set the pace for sharing and processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors; online sessions can include practical homework, thought records, and step-by-step skill work that clients complete between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Paulette collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and daily life. She checks in about what’s working and shifts focus when needed so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a full in-person visit isn’t practical. It also supports doing homework, practicing communication skills in real time, and keeping momentum between appointments.
