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.
