She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, or major life changes. Paola aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can be heard and begin to make steady changes.
She uses clear, direct conversation to unpack what’s happening now. Sessions often involve looking at personal stories and patterns to find new ways forward.
Background and approach
Paola draws on narrative approaches to help clients reframe painful experiences and on cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thoughts and actions. Paola also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify what matters and take small steps toward those values. Mindfulness techniques are offered to reduce tension and build steady focus.
Her style is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs rather than pushing a fixed program. Clients can expect practical tools and gentle reflection. Paola pays attention to relationship patterns, self-esteem, career stress, grief around separation, and issues connected to trauma and abuse.
She also addresses intimacy concerns, codependency, and the emotional fallout of infidelity or jealousy. Paola works in English and provides sessions through video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. She supports those seeking help with postpartum depression, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, and young adult issues.

Online session options
How Narrative and ACT Inform Online Care
Paola uses Narrative Therapy to help people name the stories that shape their lives and then look for ways to rewrite limiting chapters. This approach can be useful for relationship patterns, codependency, and feeling stuck in old roles. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters to them and take small, values-based steps even when feelings are hard to change.Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. Paola treats the choice of approach as collaborative and will adapt techniques based on each person’s goals and comfort. Early sessions focus on what matters most and which strategies feel doable for daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is often used for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Shorter check-ins or messaging are helpful for quick support between sessions or when a quieter, text-based option fits someone's routine. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, and other demands.
