Annie Paul, LCSW - Therapist in Delaware

About Annie

Annie Paul is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, person-centered therapy. She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, parenting concerns, and trauma. Her style is straightforward and supportive, so parents and individuals can focus on small, useful changes.

She draws on Client-Centered principles to listen closely and follow each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps her clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Background and approach

Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce overwhelm and bring attention back to the present moment. With four years of professional experience, Annie has worked with people facing life transitions and the emotional effects of illness and loss, including hospice and end-of-life issues. She helps people sort through grief and make practical plans when choices feel heavy.

Sessions aim to reduce immediate distress while building skills for the long term. Annie encourages small experiments between sessions, like short mindfulness practices or behavior changes that can show quick benefits. She talks plainly about options and collaborates on goals that feel doable.

Many clients find this mix of listening and practical steps helpful when managing parenting stress or coping with big changes. People meet Annie by scheduling online or by phone. She offers several remote formats so conversations can fit into busy family routines and other life demands.

The focus is on making therapy realistic and useful from the very first session.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person's priorities. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns, asks what matters most, and helps shape goals that feel relevant and doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect moods and stress. It provides step-by-step strategies to test new behaviors and reduce anxious or negative thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that match those aims. That collaborative process can shift over time as different challenges come up or as new skills are learned.

Online therapy makes these approaches easier to use in daily life. Video calls let people have a focused conversation from home, while phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, practice prompts, and follow-up between sessions. These options add flexibility for parents and caregivers managing busy schedules and can help keep progress steady without long gaps between appointments.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
