About Paulette
Paulette Blais is a Pennsylvania psychologist with the credential PA Psychologist PS005746L and 35 years of practice. She has worked with individuals, couples, and families on common life problems such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, depression, family conflict, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
She earned a B.A. in Psychology from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and an M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy from United States International University, now Alliant University. Her long career means she has seen many different situations and practical ways to address them.
Paulette’s style is down-to-earth and straightforward. She listens, asks pointed questions, and uses plain language to help people sort through what is happening. She aims to make clients comfortable early so they can focus on the issues that brought them in.
In sessions she works on skills and conversations people can try between meetings. That can include setting boundaries, managing strong feelings like anger, improving patterns in close relationships, and coping strategies for grief or life change. She talks through small steps that fit into day-to-day life.
Paulette invites people to consider therapy even when it feels hard to reach out. To begin, she asks people to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can see if the fit feels right.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Many clients benefit from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present problems and practical skills. One common approach uses structured conversations to identify unhelpful patterns in relationships and daily life, then tests small behavioral changes to shift those patterns. This helps with recurring arguments, boundary-setting, and intimacy concerns.Another approach centers on learning emotion regulation skills. It teaches ways to recognize escalating feelings, pause before reacting, and use short strategies to reduce intensity. That kind of work is useful for managing anger and strong stress responses at home or work.
Choosing the best approach is usually collaborative. Paulette will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts the plan as clients try techniques and report what helps most.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, and have shorter focused check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals can also adjust pace and tasks to match a client’s daily schedule rather than require long in-person visits.
