About Paula

Paula Daine-De Broux is a licensed clinical social worker in Wisconsin with 35 years of practice. She focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, and self-esteem. Paula aims to meet people where they are and offer steady, practical support during hard times.

She listens first and tailors conversations to fit each person’s needs. Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings and ways to handle intense feelings in the moment.

Background and approach

Paula emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction. Her work often addresses issues such as codependency, divorce and separation, and domestic violence. She also helps with drug and alcohol addiction, panic attacks, mood challenges, and social anxiety or phobia.

Topics like forgiveness, life purpose, sexuality, and women’s issues are included when relevant. Paula draws on decades of experience to help clients build confidence and regain motivation. The approach is collaborative: goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.

Small, practical changes are a common focus. Sessions are offered in English and Paula accepts international clients. She adapts the plan to each person’s cultural background and situation.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Paula offers steady support through that process.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Support

Paula uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people learn skills to manage anxiety and panic, teaching breathing and coping tools to reduce intense symptoms. Another approach centers on supporting recovery from addictions and substance use, with step-by-step strategies to manage triggers and build healthier routines.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Paula will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and cultural background. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay relevant and useful rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or who live far from Wisconsin. Sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different comfort levels and needs. These options make it easier to stay consistent with care and to practice new skills between meetings.
