Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Paula Rainey integrates several evidence-informed approaches into online work to address a range of concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonds, helping clients understand how attachment shapes reactions to stress, intimacy, and separation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering structured tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful thinking. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences, supporting recovery from post-traumatic stress and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Paula works collaboratively to identify methods that align with each client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and practical for the individual.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or access care from a distance. These options provide flexibility in scheduling, allow ongoing communication between appointments, and let clients choose the format that feels most comfortable for their work with a licensed professional.
