Paulette also has experience with aging and geriatric issues, concerns related to domestic violence and sexual assault, and stress faced by first responders. She helps people build realistic coping skills and reconnect with what matters to them. Paulette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person.

How Paulette’s Approaches Work Online
Paulette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and healing. One common approach she uses helps people process trauma and painful memories by breaking problems into smaller, manageable steps and building skills to handle strong emotions. Another approach emphasizes strengthening coping skills and daily routines so anxiety and depression become easier to manage over time.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to concerns, try different techniques, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist work together to set goals and decide which methods fit the client’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexible scheduling and regular check-ins. Video sessions let people keep visual contact and work on longer therapy tasks. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, quick coping reminders, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to sustain progress over time.
