About Paula
Paula D'Amore is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, low self-esteem, and life changes. She focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Paula writes in a warm, straightforward way and keeps a small caseload so she can spend time with each person she sees.
Paula uses simple tools to help clients notice what is happening in their lives and respond differently. She emphasizes self-awareness and mindfulness as part of building better routines and habits. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs and preferences rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Her approach blends practical skills with compassionate conversation. Paula draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help people change unhelpful patterns. She encourages clients to test what works, keep what helps, and leave the rest behind.
Paula brings five years of clinical experience and holds LCSW credentials in Tennessee and Florida. She supports people coping with grief, relationship and family strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns. Her style is interactive and focused on real-life change.
Paula typically checks messages Monday through Friday and aims to respond promptly. She asks for patience when replies take a little longer because she manages a limited caseload to prioritize client time and attention.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Paula commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build steady daily habits. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active and then trying small, practical changes to test what helps. Mindfulness Therapy teaches skills to notice emotions and bodily reactions so people can respond with more choice rather than reacting automatically.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paula will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can be revisited as progress is made and circumstances change.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life - for example, it can reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or be a good fit when quieter surroundings are available. Licensed professionals can use a mix of skill practice, coaching-style conversations, and mindfulness exercises that translate well to remote sessions. Ask about formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions align with your routine.
