About Paige
She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings. Conversations focus on practical changes and clearer thinking rather than labels. Paige emphasizes support and empowerment so people can try new ways of coping and notice small shifts over time.
With ten years of professional experience, Paige draws on approaches that are evidence based to guide sessions and goals. She listens for patterns in relationships, self-image, and work stress that keep problems stuck. Then she helps people try different strategies to reduce anxiety, manage panic, or handle difficult life changes.
Paige works with concerns including trauma and abuse, panic attacks, chronic pain and illness, and struggles around money, purpose, or isolation. She also addresses attachment issues, communication problems, and women's issues when these are part of a person’s story. Sessions take a steady, step-by-step approach to change.
Paige is licensed in South Carolina as an LMFT. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients at this time. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
Evidence-based techniques and online care
Paige uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety, depression, and life transitions. One common approach focuses on building practical coping skills for anxiety and panic, teaching step-by-step strategies to reduce immediate symptoms and regain control in stressful moments. Another approach looks at self-image and relationships, helping people notice unhelpful patterns, shift self-talk, and try new ways of communicating to improve confidence and connection.Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan so it fits the client's needs and pace.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It can also offer shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, and options that reduce the need to be on camera when that helps someone focus. Licensed professionals help clients adapt tools to everyday routines so progress can continue between meetings.
