About Paula
Paula Fowler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee. She brings six years of experience to her therapy work and focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship and parenting concerns.
Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions aim to be respectful and compassionate, with conversation shaped around each person's needs. Paula encourages clients to draw on their own strengths while she offers guidance and practical tools.
Paula uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. That means she often helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, set clear goals, and try small changes that add up over time. She tailors these methods to the problem at hand rather than using the same plan for everyone.
She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, caregiver stress, and issues related to aging, illness, or end-of-life concerns. Other areas she addresses include ADHD, anger, career questions, and communication problems.
Paula aims to build a collaborative relationship. She listens, asks practical questions, and helps clients choose strategies they can use between sessions. Her approach is straightforward and focused on what will help in everyday life.
How Paula’s approaches work in online therapy
Paula commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide online conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear, short-term goals and building on what already works so people can see progress quickly.She also weaves in Motivational Interviewing when people face ambivalence about change. That approach uses open questions and reflective listening to help people clarify their goals and find internal motivation. Together these approaches are used collaboratively so clients and therapist decide what fits best for each concern.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life. Confirm the specific session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Many people find that remote sessions reduce travel time, allow check-ins during a break, and let them use therapeutic tools between meetings. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods and rhythms of work that match their goals and daily schedule.
