About Paula

Paula Fowler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Tennessee with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, career questions, life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Her background includes work across hospital, home health, hospice, dialysis, military, and school settings. That variety shaped a practical approach to problems that often show up around illness, caregiving, end-of-life decisions, and daily responsibilities.

In sessions, she uses clear, goal-focused methods. Conversations often look at how thoughts influence behavior and which small changes could reduce stress. She also uses brief, solution-focused steps to build momentum and motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change.

Paula describes her style as interactive and respectful. She listens to what people already know about their lives and helps them try concrete strategies that fit their routines. Sessions typically focus on real-world problems like managing symptoms, improving communication, handling caregiving tasks, or reorganizing daily schedules.

People who want straightforward, practical help with relationships, work and family pressures, or medical and end-of-life planning may find this approach useful. She conducts work from Tennessee and meets with English-speaking clients. For details about session format and scheduling, confirm current options before booking.

BHow sessions work

How Paula’s approaches translate to online work

Paula uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to help people clarify their reasons for change and strengthen personal motivation. It is useful for decisions about health, caregiving, or changing habits.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. She will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust techniques as progress is tracked. That collaborative process helps match a method to what the client actually needs and can use day to day.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to connect with a clinician from Tennessee while handling caregiving, work, or medical appointments. Discuss scheduling and session length during the initial matching steps to find what works best.
