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.

You should be very proud of yourself for taking this first step towards a healthy lifestyle. You are no longer in this alone, and together we can empower you to strive for all of your desires.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
