About Paula
Paula Green is an LCPC and an LPCC with 20 years of clinical experience. She is based in New Mexico and works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, family problems, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes.
She has a long history in both clinic and private practice settings. For a decade she worked with victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, including time in a domestic violence shelter and collaborating with domestic violence courts in private practice. She also conducted training in child sexual abuse prevention.
More recently she spent eight years at St. Luke's Center for Neurobehavioral Medicine. There she counseled children and families in outpatient care and in an intensive partial hospitalization program. That work included supporting people after trauma and addressing complex family dynamics.
Paula uses familiar methods such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior strategies, EMDR, and mindfulness techniques. She aims to help people notice patterns, practice new skills, and manage intense feelings one step at a time.
When someone reaches out she begins by listening to practical concerns and goals. From there she and the person decide on approaches and steps to try. Sessions are focused on clear tools and real-life changes that fit day-to-day family life.
Therapeutic approaches used in online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can find their own solutions. It helps when someone needs clearer goals and support to try new behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety and depression. It is often used to change unhelpful thinking and build coping routines. EMDR involves guided attention techniques paired with memory processing to reduce distress from traumatic memories; it can be useful for people who continue to feel stuck after trauma.Choosing an approach happens together. The therapist will review your concerns, past experiences, and what you want to change. Then she will suggest methods and check in to see what is helping so the plan can be adjusted as needed.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy family life, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or let someone avoid travel. Licensed professionals can use a mix of talking techniques, skill practice, and guided exercises that translate well to remote sessions, and the therapist will explain what to expect when scheduling.
