About Paula
Paula Fowler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee. She brings six years of experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and anger. Paula aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can talk through what's hard and find practical steps forward.
Her approach is interactive and down-to-earth. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice unhelpful patterns, set achievable goals, and build new habits.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear, manageable strategies rather than abstract talk. Paula often helps people who are dealing with life transitions, career strain, caregiver stress, and grief. She also supports those coping with trauma, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, and end-of-life decisions.
Conversations usually center on immediate problems and what can change next. In sessions Paula listens for strengths and practical options. She works with each person to tailor steps that fit their daily life.
That might mean skill-building for managing anger, new ways to communicate, or short-term goals to reduce anxiety. Paula offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. She encourages people to start with a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session to see if the way she works feels like a good match.

How Paula’s Approaches Work Online
Paula uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practice new responses. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and anger when someone needs clear skills to change day-to-day patterns.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to guide conversations about change in a respectful way. This approach helps when a person feels unsure or stuck about next steps and wants to build motivation from their own values and goals.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Paula collaborates with each person to figure out which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try methods, track progress, and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions come in several formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and teaching new skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can fit brief check-ins, quick coaching, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
