Paulette Jansen, LCSW

Paulette Jansen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 20 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also focuses on aging and geriatric concerns, domestic violence, first responder issues, life purpose, personality disorders, self-love, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse.

Her sessions are direct and practical. She helps clients talk through recent problems and long-standing difficulties. Conversations focus on coping strategies, improving daily routines, and steps that reduce overwhelming feelings. She encourages realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Paulette has long experience supporting older adults and people whose jobs expose them to trauma, such as first responders. She also has substantial work with survivors of domestic and sexual violence. That background informs how she notices safety, pacing, and triggers during sessions.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to build skills for managing symptoms and improving relationships with oneself. Expect clear tools you can use between sessions, like breathing and grounding practices, behavioral changes, and ways to reframe negative thoughts. Sessions include review of what worked and adjustments when things don’t.

Her style is collaborative and structured. She helps identify what is most pressing and breaks larger problems into manageable steps. Practical matters such as work, caregiving, health, and finances are part of the conversation when they affect emotional well-being.
