Approaches Paola Uses and Benefits of Online Therapy

Paola integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating empathic, nonjudgmental support so clients can explore feelings and build self-understanding - this approach is especially helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and healing from trauma. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is another tool Paola applies when addressing ambivalence about change, helping clients strengthen their own reasons for recovery and taking steps toward healthier choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Paola works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. The client and therapist decide together what feels most helpful.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy schedules and for people who live at a distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from familiar surroundings, and choose the format that best supports each clientâs comfort and accessibility.
