More about Paula

- LCSW
I am so glad that you are here and ready to improve your life. I am a licensed clinical social worker in Florida & Tennessee. I have experience in helping clients with self-care, stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, coping with grief and loss, & parenting issues.
My therapy style is warm, interactive and real. I will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. This journey is about you. Test everything. Treasure what works for you and disregard the rest. I believe in treating everyone how I would want to be treated. This is why I only take on a small caseload so that I can dedicate my time with my clients. I believe that self-awareness and mindfulness are vital components of reflecting on yourself and your behavior. In order to accept and acknowledge that you might tend to react to certain situations in a specific way, you first have to notice that it's happening. The most important relationship in your life is the one you have with yourself. Just as you know that it's important to take care of your physical well-being with a healthy diet and proper exercise, it is also important to take care of your mental and emotional well-being. Remember that your wellbeing is worth the investment of time and energy. The work you do now can pay dividends for years to come.
Be kind to yourself! Every day is a new beginning. Take a deep breath, smile and start again.
I generally check messages here a few times per day Mon-Fri and respond as quickly as I can. I do appreciate your patience when it takes a bit longer at times, as I may be tending to other clients or professional/personal responsibilities.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Approachable and have confidence we can tackle the issues together
Paula has become my number 1 supporter and has been personable since our very first session together! She created a great warm environment and allows you to open up and trust her with everything!
I am already starting to feel better
She’s great and definitely knows how to handle our conversations. So glad I found her on here!
In only 2 weeks I can already see a massive difference in my anxiety and this is all contributed to the AMAZING and INSIGHTFUL help and stories from Paula’s own similar life-experiences which is invaluable. I can already tell I’ll be a better help subscriber for a while, I’d fought getting back into therapy for a while due to therapist’s in the past not relating to my issues, but I think I’ve found my home/ comfort zone! Will highly continue to recommend!
Paula is very passionate on helping me reach my goals. She cares and listens to me. She is a great therapist!
Paula is a very supportive and empathetic therapist. She is easy to talk to and very responsive with messaging between sessions. Highly reccommend.
She is amazing! Genuinely cares about me as a person! Answers my texts really quick and gives very helpful advice. She is absolutely wonderful (:
Personable and enlightening!
Paula gives me great feedback and is there for me when I need to talk
My sessions with Paula have been very productive. In just a few sessions I’ve noticed an improvement when it comes to dealing with my anxiety and I’ve been starting new healthy habits. She is great at keeping me accountable. Even my partner has noticed that I’ve been happier lately!
