About Paula
Paula Fowler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Tennessee with six years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, anger, career changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and related concerns.
Her background includes varied clinical settings, and she uses straightforward methods to help people sort through problems. In sessions she focuses on practical steps, helping people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to look at thinking and behavior, and on solution-focused ideas to set small, achievable goals.
She also uses motivational interviewing to explore what matters to a person and build motivation for change. Conversations are interactive and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on what can be done now. The therapist treats issues like end-of-life decisions, caregiver stress, and communication problems with the same practical approach.
Paula helps people who are juggling parenting demands and family strain to find clearer choices and steady routines. She talks through coping strategies for grief, anger, and work-related fatigue so adults can manage everyday pressures. She aims to help clients notice strengths they already have and apply them to concrete problems.

How sessions work
How Paula Fowler uses CBT, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused work online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns of thinking that contribute to stress or low mood. In practice this means identifying a specific thought or behavior, testing it, and trying a small change to see what happens. It suits issues like anxiety, depression, and some parenting stress.Motivational Interviewing focuses on what matters to the person and on building their own reasons for change. A therapist will ask open questions, reflect back what they hear, and help strengthen the client’s motivation for action. This approach can help with shifting habits, making difficult decisions, or starting a new plan of care.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps and signs of progress. Sessions often set one or two achievable goals and track small wins rather than exploring every past detail. It is useful when someone wants concrete changes they can try between meetings.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals evolve.
