Paula Clements, BACP, NCPS

Paula Clements helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those facing addictions, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, career uncertainty, bipolar challenges and the ups and downs of major life changes. Paula is comfortable addressing attachment concerns, ADHD, and a range of relationship and communication issues. Paula Clements is based in New York and works in English.

Paula approaches therapy in a straightforward, person-centred way. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings and on noticing values and choices that matter to you.

Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without being controlled by them. Paula also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early bonds affect present patterns. Client-Centred and Psychodynamic approaches inform a warm, listening stance and attention to life stories and past experiences.

With four years of experience she has worked with a broad set of concerns, including issues linked to adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, body image, aging, and dissociation. Paula aims to make sessions calm and focused and helps people set clear, manageable goals. She invites clients to try small steps and then review what worked.

Getting started is simple: follow the therapy site's process to match with Paula, complete a short questionnaire and schedule your first session. Her sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs and routines.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress and for making practical changes in daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help with trust, communication habits and repeating old cycles in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paula will listen to your situation and goals, then suggest which methods might suit you best. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs and preferences become clearer.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit your life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can work for brief check-ins or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to schedule around work, caregiving and other commitments, while keeping continuity between meetings.
