About Paulette
Paulette Plummer is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage strong emotions and life changes. She uses a straightforward, compassionate style to address stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship or family strains. Paulette brings 26 years of clinical experience to each conversation and works with people facing mood disorders, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and career stress.
Clients can expect calm, direct conversations where priorities are set together. She listens first, then helps people identify small, practical steps to feel steadier.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on real-life strategies for handling triggers, improving communication, and reducing overwhelm. Her background includes long experience in multicultural settings and work with people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care, immigration issues, and discrimination. That experience shapes how she notices cultural context and life history in each person’s story.
Paulette emphasizes understanding how past events influence current reactions. She combines a few clear approaches rather than relying on jargon. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s goals and pace, and Solution-Focused Therapy identifies doable next steps. Paulette practices in North Carolina and offers sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She explains fees as varying with location and the subscription model used, which can be canceled at any time.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How Paulette’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals and pace front and center, with the therapist following the client’s lead and offering support tailored to their needs. This approach helps when someone needs space to tell their story and set their own priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep a problem going and testing small changes. It can be useful for anxiety, anger, depression, and managing mood swings by teaching clear, practical skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paulette will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust as progress is made. That collaborative process helps match tools to real-life situations and preferences.
Online formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick skill reminders, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit a busy life.
