More about Paula
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Hispanic counselor in Texas with 4 years of experience working with a diverse population. I use a DBT approach, where we will use mindfulness and healthy communication skills to reach our goals. I can treat a range of issues including depression, anxiety, addiction, substance use, relationship issues, stress, and adjustment disorders. I believe in social justice and cultural humility, so I will treat everyone with the utmost respect and will seek to learn from my clients just as much as they can learn from me.
The first step is always the hardest, but once we make a connection, we can forge a path to healing and build the life that you want.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
