About Paola
Paola Pawlicki is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety, stress, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and self esteem.

She favors a client-centered approach that values each person's experience. Sessions are practical and conversational. Paola listens first, then helps people notice patterns and options they might not have seen before.
Background and approach
Paola also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. That approach is often used for anxiety, stress, and addiction-related concerns. She blends mindfulness practices to help people calm the body and focus on the present moment.
Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit when someone needs help finding internal reasons to change. Paola helps people name their goals and build steps that feel manageable. She emphasizes small, realistic habits instead of grand plans.
Her work often touches on attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, control and dependent personality dynamics, and eating or substance-related struggles. Paola helps people work through isolation, jealousy, fertility-related stress, and questions of life purpose. Her approach is steady and goal-oriented, with attention to the human side of change.
How these approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the relationship and your experience. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps you clarify goals. This approach helps when anxiety or trauma make it hard to trust your own choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions include identifying unhelpful thinking, trying out new behavior, and tracking small changes over time. It is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and addiction-related patterns.
Paola uses these approaches alongside mindfulness to help calm the body and keep attention on the present moment. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing when someone needs help finding reasons to change and building realistic steps forward.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress is made and new challenges appear.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people juggling busy lives. Video calls let you meet face to face when you want visual connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, notes between sessions, or when typing out thoughts feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit consistent work into a routine.
