Paula Green, LCPC, LPCC

Paula Green is a licensed counselor with two decades of clinical experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. Paula also addresses family concerns and related issues like caregiving stress, communication problems, and feelings of isolation.

She has worked in clinics and independent practice settings and spent a decade helping survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. That work included time in a shelter and collaboration with domestic violence courts. Paula also delivered training in child sexual abuse prevention.

For the past eight years she has counseled at St. Luke's Center for Neurobehavioral Medicine. There she provided outpatient therapy for children and families and contributed to an intensive partial hospitalization program. Her practice includes work with adoption and foster care topics, blended family challenges, and difficulties tied to neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

Paula uses straightforward methods and practical skills in sessions. She draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior ideas, EMDR, and mindfulness practices to address symptoms and day-to-day problems. Sessions focus on building insight, improving coping, and developing workable strategies for change.

She asks questions first, listens closely, and then tailors a plan to each person. Paula works in English and is licensed as LCPC and LPCC. Her office is based in New Mexico and she is available to work with people internationally through online arrangements when appropriate.

How Paula’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience so they feel heard and understood. Online sessions using this approach aim to build a supportive relationship and prioritize your goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools for managing anxiety or depression. In online sessions CBT often includes homework, worksheets, and step-by-step skill practice. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps people process traumatic memories through structured procedures and can be adapted for remote work when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paula will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online work because it can fit more easily into busy days, reduce travel, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Paula’s blend of listening, practical CBT tools, and trauma-focused methods can be used in remote sessions to focus on symptom relief, improved coping, and clearer next steps.
