01About Paula
Paula Lister welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, or the lingering effects of past trauma. She speaks plainly and listens carefully, helping each person name what feels hardest and take steps toward daily relief. Paula is a Licensed Professional Counselor, and she draws on thirty years of experience to offer steady, practical support.
Her style is collaborative. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and helps them use their strengths to change what isn’t working.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals, small experiments, and skills you can use between meetings. That might mean learning tools for panic or sleep, working through grief, or sorting patterns in close relationships. Paula has worked across many settings in Oklahoma over three decades.
That background gives her experience with addictions, chronic pain and illness, end-of-life concerns, and loneliness as well as mood and sleep problems. She also supports people facing intimacy issues, communication struggles, and control-related worries. She offers flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and scheduling is arranged through the site’s matching process. Paula works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that fits your needs.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care
Paula uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and problem solving. One common approach teaches breathing and grounding skills alongside strategies for managing panic and anxiety, helping people reduce immediate symptoms and build confidence in stressful moments. Another approach focuses on grief and trauma recovery by pacing work on difficult memories while developing coping strategies to manage mood and sleep disruptions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paula will talk with each person about their goals, history, and daily life, and then recommend techniques that match those needs. The plan is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people see visual cues and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quick check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter updates, pacing between sessions, and steady contact when daily struggles arise. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into real life.
