About Paula

Paula Green is a licensed clinician with two decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and family conflict. She speaks English and works with adults, teens, and children to reduce distress and build practical coping skills. Paula aims to create a straightforward, compassionate space where people can make steady changes that fit their lives.

Paula holds the LCPC credential and the LPCC credential, and she has worked in both clinic and private practice settings. For ten years she provided services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, including work in a shelter and collaboration with domestic violence courts. She also spent eight years at St. Luke's Center for Neurobehavioral Medicine counseling in outpatient care and in a partial hospitalization program.

Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused. She listens to what matters most, then helps people try practical tools tailored to their situation. Clinically she draws on client-centered methods plus cognitive and mindfulness-based skills to help change unhelpful thoughts and lower emotional intensity.

Paula also has experience with adoption and foster care concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, dissociation, and related areas. She helps people address guilt, shame, impulsivity, loneliness, and complex family of origin issues.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. It helps people feel heard and shapes work around their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Paula collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try first, based on needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. That plan can shift over time as progress and preferences become clearer.

The therapist biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use focused skills practice between visits. It also lets people choose shorter check-ins when that suits their schedule or pick sessions that use less bandwidth when video is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt client-centered and skills-based methods like CBT to an online setting to keep work practical and goal oriented.
