Paulina Ulano, LCSW-R

Paulina Ulano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Registered (LCSW-R) and a psychotherapist practicing in New York. She brings 22 years of clinical experience to her work and has supported people facing a wide range of emotional, health, and life challenges.

Her approach blends several therapeutic traditions - psychodynamic, trauma informed, person-centered, and cognitive behavioral - so that treatment can be tailored to each individual�s needs and goals. She draws from these methods to explore patterns, address past experiences that affect current functioning, and teach practical coping strategies.

Paulina is described by her colleagues as warm and supportive, and she maintains an explorative, inquisitive therapeutic style. She aims to build a collaborative relationship in which the pace and focus are guided by the client, with an emphasis on understanding, resilience, and practical change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Paulina frequently uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This approach is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

She also practices trauma informed care, which focuses on recognizing the impact of traumatic experiences and creating a supportive, paced process for healing. This approach helps clients who have experienced abuse, loss, or other overwhelming events.

Rather than prescribing a single method, Paulina works collaboratively with each person to find the best fit. She and the client will consider goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into daily life. These options support consistent access to care and allow therapists to tailor the format to what helps the client engage and make meaningful progress.
