About Paola
Paola Pawlicki is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. Paola also supports people dealing with attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, and life purpose questions.
She uses an approach rooted in client-centered therapy. That means she focuses on listening, understanding a person's experience, and building a trusting therapeutic connection. Paola emphasizes the relationship as the foundation for change rather than relying only on techniques.
Paola also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people manage unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when someone is trying to change behaviors like substance use or old patterns that feel stuck.
In sessions she helps people name patterns such as avoidant or dependent tendencies and looks at how those patterns affect relationships, work, and everyday choices. Conversations are direct and aimed at clarifying what matters, increasing self-awareness, and supporting step-by-step change.
Her work includes practical strategies for impulsivity, eating and food-related struggles, fertility-related stress, isolation and jealousy, and forgiveness work. Paola asks about current goals and helps people consider what small, realistic changes might look like next.
How her approaches translate to online work
Paola uses client-centered therapy to prioritize listening and building a working relationship. Online sessions can focus on understanding what feels most important, helping someone make sense of patterns and set clear goals.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral experiments. CBT in an online session often includes homework, thought records, and concrete skill practice between meetings to track change.
Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants to shift habits such as substance use or old relationship patterns. That approach helps people weigh options, clarify motivations, and plan manageable next steps during regular sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paola will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods together in a collaborative way.
