Background and approach

Paola draws on practical methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and acceptance-based work. She blends these with a client-centered stance, so the plan fits each person’s needs. Paola also uses motivational interviewing to help people find internal motivation for change.

Common concerns she addresses include relationship strain, intimacy-related questions, anger, career stress, and parenting stressors tied to family dynamics. She also works with trauma, attachment issues, grief after separation, and feelings like emptiness, guilt, or shame. Sessions tend to focus on building coping skills and improving daily routines.

Paola supports people through postpartum depression, compassion fatigue, and challenges linked to ADHD symptoms. The pace and goals come from what the client wants to work on. People who prefer a calm, collaborative therapist often find her style helpful.

She invites clients to try small changes, reflect on results, and adjust the plan along the way.

How Paola's Approaches Work Online

Paola often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and to choose actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and useful for stress, low mood, and managing anger or relationship reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Paola talks with each person about their goals and preferences, then tries methods that fit those needs. She adjusts the plan based on what helps most in real life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face while phone can be a simpler check-in with less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or ongoing reflections. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, childcare, or busy days.
