Paulette Jansen is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of practice in California. She focuses on helping people cope with anxiety, depression, stress, and the fallout from trauma and abuse.

Her work often centers on restoring self-esteem and helping people find meaning after big life changes. She also has experience supporting older adults, first responders, and survivors of domestic and sexual violence.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and pace rather than a fixed formula. Paulette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to build skills for managing symptoms and navigating day-to-day challenges.

The emphasis is on usable tools that people can bring into their routine. Her style is calm and direct, with a focus on clear steps and gentle encouragement. Paulette works to create a space where people can talk honestly and begin to rebuild confidence.

Progress is measured in practical changes such as better sleep, fewer panic moments, or clearer decision making. People who come to her often want help processing trauma, improving self-worth, or adapting to life transitions. Paulette supports that work with steady, experienced guidance and attention to each person’s strengths and limits.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Paulette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and recovery. One common approach she uses helps people process trauma in manageable steps, teaching grounding and coping strategies to reduce overwhelm and build resilience. Another approach centers on mood and behavior change, helping clients identify unhelpful patterns, try small experiments, and develop routines that ease anxiety and depression.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Paulette works with each client to understand goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life, then adjusts methods as needed. This means the plan can change as progress is made or new concerns appear.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people keep face-to-face interaction without travel, phone sessions work well when video isn't possible or bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to stay connected during transitions.
