Paula Rainey, LPC

Paula Rainey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, anger, and career concerns. Paula uses practical conversation and evidence-informed tools to help people manage strong emotions and daily pressures.

She starts by listening to each person's story and recognizing their strengths. That helps shape goals that feel meaningful and doable. Sessions focus on building skills for emotion regulation, clearer communication, and steadying routines.

Paula draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with workable alternatives. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current reactions, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are still causing distress.

Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help with immediate reactions like anger or panic. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are stuck or unsure how to move forward with changes they want to make.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. Paula helps people set small, testable steps and reviews progress together. For anyone feeling overwhelmed by anger, frequent irritability, or resentment, she offers ways to notice triggers and try different responses.
