More about Paula

  • 6 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I'm Paula Lynch, a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, and addiction, as well as those seeking to strengthen their relationships and intimate connections.

My approach centers on helping you build self-compassion, improve communication, and work through difficult emotions like guilt and shame. I'm experienced in supporting people through major life changes, including divorce and separation, and I specialize in facilitating forgiveness and healing.

I integrate a faith-centered perspective into my practice, recognizing that spirituality can be a meaningful source of strength and guidance. I believe therapy works best when it honors your values and beliefs.

My style is collaborative and person-centered. I'm here to help you develop the tools and insights you need to move forward with greater clarity, peace, and authenticity. If you're ready to invest in your wellbeing and growth, I'd be honored to walk alongside you on that journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
