About Paula
Paula Christian-Stallworth is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 27 years of clinical experience. She practices in Colorado and has worked with people facing addiction, relationship strain, trauma, anxiety, depression, and family concerns including blended family issues.
She offers straightforward, practical support. Sessions focus on clear communication, managing stress and anger, navigating separation or divorce, and addressing substance or process addictions. Paula also helps people dealing with grief, end-of-life questions, and career or life-purpose concerns.
Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s priorities. Mindfulness practices and Motivational Interviewing are used when clients want concrete tools for managing cravings, stress, or impulsive behavior.
Paula brings experience with veteran and multicultural issues and with survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. She works with adults to improve communication, set boundaries, and rebuild confidence after difficult experiences.
In sessions she aims for clear goals and practical steps. People often leave with specific strategies to try between meetings and a plan for the next steps.
How Paula applies approaches online
Paula uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in clear, practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s concerns and goals, with the therapist listening and responding to what matters most to the person.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing when someone is unsure about change. That method uses guided conversation to help people weigh their options and strengthen motivation for recovery or behavior change. These approaches are used together to create concrete goals and small steps forward.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. Paula will collaborate with the client to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions begin by clarifying concerns and then trying methods that feel practical and manageable.
