About Paula
Paula Christian-Stallworth is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 27 years of experience. She works with adults facing anger, addiction, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, and life transitions. Paula practices in Colorado and offers sessions in English.
Paula uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to address problems that build up over time. She helps people who struggle with resentment, frequent outbursts, workplace frustration, or living with someone else’s anger. Her work also covers substance use, trauma and recovery from sexual assault, and issues tied to separation and divorce.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods to focus on what matters to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behavior. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to manage strong emotions in the moment.
Paula also integrates existential ideas to look at meaning and life direction, and she uses motivational interviewing when people want help with change. She applies these methods in clear, goal-focused sessions rather than abstract theory.
With long experience supporting veterans, multicultural concerns, and families dealing with blended household dynamics, Paula helps people work through complicated situations. She explains steps, offers skills to practice between sessions, and checks progress as goals shift.
To begin, prospective clients follow the practice’s intake steps and complete a short questionnaire before scheduling a first appointment. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Paula’s approaches translate to online work
Paula commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client’s priorities. This means the conversation centers on what the person wants to change and how they experience their anger, rather than following a rigid plan.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thought and behavior that feed angry reactions. CBT involves testing new ways of thinking and practicing small behavioral changes between sessions to reduce impulsive responses.
Mindfulness techniques are taught to help notice rising tension and pause before reacting. These are short practices that can be used during daily life to lower immediate reactivity and improve emotional clarity.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is tracked.

Paula frames work around practical steps and skills that can be used day to day.
