About Paula
Paula Green is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 20 years of experience. She practices in New Mexico and focuses on stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Paula also lists work around guilt and shame among her areas of focus.
Paula has worked in clinics and private practice and spent a decade supporting victims of domestic violence and sexual assault through shelter work and collaboration with domestic violence courts. That history shapes how she approaches safety and practical problem solving with people who have been through harm.
More recently she spent eight years at St. Luke's Center for Neurobehavioral Medicine. There she counseled children and families in outpatient settings and in an intensive partial hospitalization program. She has also provided training on child sexual abuse prevention.
In sessions she uses straightforward, person-centered methods alongside skills-based approaches. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and mindfulness tools to address symptoms and daily challenges. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now and on practical steps to feel and function better.
Paula works with adults, teens, children, and families to look at patterns, communications, and coping skills. She helps people talk through family conflict, caregiving stress, body image concerns, and the lingering effects of trauma. The goal is to identify small, manageable changes that fit into everyday life.
To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location.
How her therapeutic approaches fit into online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. In online conversations this means a lot of reflective listening, asking practical questions, and checking what feels useful for daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to shift unhelpful patterns; online sessions can include short exercises and homework to practice between meetings.Paula also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotional regulation and coping skills are a focus. DBT-style skills are concrete tools people can learn and try out in their everyday routines. Choosing which approaches to use is collaborative - she will work with each person to decide what fits their goals and preferences as the work unfolds.
The original biography did not list which session formats are offered online, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt homework, mindfulness practices, and EMDR-informed pace to a virtual setting, and Paula will discuss how to use these methods in a way that fits a client's schedule and circumstances.
