About Paulette

Paulette Jansen is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience in California. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Paulette aims to make therapy practical and approachable for everyday life.

She has worked with older adults, first responders, and people who have survived domestic violence or sexual assault. Paulette listens closely and adapts sessions to each person's needs. She concentrates on rebuilding self-worth and finding a clearer sense of purpose.

Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to teach coping skills and strengthen emotional resilience. Sessions often include learning ways to manage anxious thoughts, process traumatic memories, and practice self-compassion. Paulette helps clients break larger problems into manageable steps.

People meet her for guidance during life transitions, after difficult events, or when depression or anxiety feels overwhelming. She emphasizes collaboration and respect in the therapeutic relationship. Paulette supports clients as they identify goals and try new strategies between sessions.

Her style is direct but compassionate, aimed at helping people make steady, realistic changes. She encourages small, measurable steps that build confidence over time. Prospective clients can expect clear communication about goals and a focus on practical tools that fit daily life.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Many of her sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and healing from trauma. One common approach emphasizes learning concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as grounding exercises and step-by-step behavior changes to reduce worry and improve daily functioning. Another approach concentrates on trauma recovery by helping people process difficult memories at a manageable pace and develop safer ways to respond to triggers.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that match their needs, and adjust strategies over time. Clients are encouraged to share preferences so sessions reflect what feels most helpful and realistic for them.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and keep check-ins brief when schedules demand it. It also allows people to continue work on skills between sessions and to meet with a licensed professional from a location that suits their daily routines.
