Background and approach
Paulette draws on a client-centered style that keeps each person’s goals and values front and center. She blends approaches to match what a person needs in the moment rather than using a single method for everyone. Paulette pays attention to cultural background and the stress of discrimination.
She helps clients name feelings like shame, isolation, or anger and then find ways to respond differently. Work often includes building communication skills and clearer boundaries in relationships. Sessions can focus on problem-solving for current issues, developing coping skills for mood disorders or ADHD, or processing loss and grief.
Paulette also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, blended family dynamics, and immigration-related stress. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Clients can expect practical tools, goal-focused planning, and a calm space to talk through hard things.
The aim is to leave each session with at least one doable step toward feeling better.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Paulette uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s priorities and values. This approach means sessions start with what matters most to the client and then move toward concrete goals and steps for change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills to shift mood and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and managing impulsivity or ADHD-related challenges.
Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Paulette aims to match approach and pace to each person’s needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations, while phone sessions can fit around busy schedules or require less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins, homework support, or shorter problem-solving exchanges. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to maintain alongside work, school, or parenting.
