About Paula
Paula Fowler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Tennessee with six years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting concerns, relationship strain, trauma and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps and straightforward conversation.
Before private practice she worked in settings such as hospitals, home health, hospice, dialysis centers, military environments, and schools. That variety shaped a pragmatic approach to common problems like medical decision making, end-of-life concerns, and caregiver stress.
Paula uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing in her sessions. She likes to break issues into manageable pieces and try concrete strategies that can be used between meetings. Conversations tend to be interactive and goal-oriented rather than abstract.
People often bring concerns about parenting, ADHD, obsessive thoughts, or changes at work or home. Paula also addresses family of origin issues, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt, and coping after loss. She can help people who are carrying ongoing resentment or who want better ways to express frustration.
Her work is straightforward. She focuses on skills you can practice, short-term goals, and clearer decision-making. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to set goals together.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Paula commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce stress and anger. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify what matters to you and builds motivation for change. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which looks for practical steps that move you toward clear, short-term goals. Each approach is aimed at specific tasks - changing unhelpful patterns, deciding on next steps, or trying a few focused interventions. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Paula works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means sessions can shift focus over time as priorities change and progress is made. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. The platform details and exact formats are set when you sign up. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits work and family routines.Areas of focus
