About Paula
Paula Daine-De Broux is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage strong emotions and everyday stress. She works with people facing anxiety, anger, addictions, and self-esteem struggles. Paula keeps language simple and focuses on practical ways to make life feel more manageable.
Paula draws on 35 years of professional experience practicing in Wisconsin. She adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation. That means sessions focus on what matters to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Background and approach
Sessions often center on learning skills to calm intense feelings and make better choices under pressure. Paula supports people dealing with relationship strain, codependency, separation, or the fallout from domestic violence. She also helps with mood challenges, panic, and social anxiety.
Work may include looking at patterns that keep problems repeating, building motivation, and strengthening self-respect. Paula pays attention to cultural and multicultural concerns so people feel understood in context. She speaks English and is available to work with international clients.
Paula encourages steady, achievable steps toward goals like better anger control, reduced anxiety, or healthier habits around alcohol or drugs. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping people find what works for them.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Paula uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and understanding patterns. One common approach is skills training to manage intense emotions and reduce reactivity - this teaches breathing, grounding, and behavioral steps to use when anger or panic arise. Another approach emphasizes behavior change and habit work to address addictions and motivation issues, helping people set small goals and build routines that support recovery.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Paula will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that fit the individual. She adjusts the plan over time based on progress and feedback so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people stay connected between sessions or use brief check-ins and written reflections. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum while working toward change.
