Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Paola uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration, and it helps people who are seeking to build self-awareness, self-esteem, and stronger relationships. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, or addictive cycles and teaching practical strategies to change them. Mindfulness Therapy is another tool in her practice; it teaches present-focused attention and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity, support emotional regulation, and help with trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Paola works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions occur - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to maintain consistency in care around work, family, or geographic constraints. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide ongoing support in ways that match a client’s schedule and communication style.
