My name is Paula and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York. I have over 10 years of experiencing working with people who have a variety of challenges in their life. I have worked with individuals of all ages that struggle with depression, anxiety, panic disorders, eating disorders, ADHD/ADD, OCD, grief & loss, family issues, parenting struggles as well as many other areas of difficulties. My approach is person centered, solution focused, and strength based. I work a great deal with CBT and DBT for emotional regulation.

I consider myself to be an open and honest person that strives to assist you in identifying goals and work with you to become the best YOU possible. I am always willing to listen without judgement in order to understand your struggles and to assist you in finding happiness, peace and clarity in your life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
