About Paulette
Paulette Jansen is a California licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 20 years of practice supporting adults through major life shifts. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.

She works directly with individuals who are sorting out what comes next after a change in work, relationships, or health. Sessions commonly include practical skills for managing anxiety, grounding after traumatic memories, and steps to rebuild self-respect. Paulette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide these efforts rather than a single fixed method.
Her practice tends to be collaborative and focused on what a person can do between sessions. That means breaking down goals into small, doable steps and checking progress week to week. For people wrestling with a sense of life purpose, she helps clarify values and priorities while addressing barriers like depression or low self-esteem.
Paulette has experience working with older adults and with people who have faced domestic violence or sexual assault. She also has background helping first responders manage work-related stress and trauma. Her work aims to strengthen coping strategies and support steady, practical change.

Approaches used and what online sessions involve
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to Paulette's work. Cognitive-based strategies help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try alternative ways of thinking, which can ease anxiety and depressive symptoms. Trauma-focused methods aim to reduce the hold traumatic memories have on daily life by teaching grounding and processing skills that lower reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paulette will discuss options with each person and adjust methods based on their goals, symptoms, and what feels manageable week to week. This collaborative selection helps keep sessions practical and aligned with what the person wants to address first.
The practice uses a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time. The original biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on hectic days, and provide ways to continue work during relocation or health changes. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques to work over distance while focusing on concrete coping skills and life-purpose planning.
