About Paula

Paula D’Amore is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed. She offers a calm, direct approach aimed at reducing stress and easing anxiety.

Paula works from Tennessee and brings five years of clinical experience to sessions. Paula keeps sessions warm and interactive. She tailors the work to each person, helping them notice patterns and try small, useful changes.

Background and approach

Sessions mix talk with hands-on strategies so people leave with concrete steps to try between visits. Her background includes work with coping skills, addiction-related coping, grief and loss, and parenting concerns. Paula uses evidence-based methods to teach skills for managing emotions and daily stress.

She emphasizes self-awareness and mindfulness as tools for understanding reactions. Paula encourages clients to test what helps them and to keep what works. She aims for practical progress rather than perfect solutions.

Paula maintains a small caseload to focus on each person. She generally checks messages Monday through Friday and responds as she can. Her LCSW credentials include Tennessee LCSW 8354 and Florida LCSW SW11399.

Evidence-based tools for online support

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and practical life problems by teaching steps you can use day to day.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and awareness practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It helps people notice patterns in thinking and feeling so they can choose different responses in stressful moments.

Paula approaches the choice of technique as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they adjust the plan based on what feels useful and what needs more focus.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range lets people fit therapy around parenting, work, and daily demands. The format also makes it easier to use skills in real time and to stay connected when schedules are tight.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

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.
