About Paulina

Paulina Ulano is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She practices in New York and brings 22 years of clinical experience to her work. Her manner is warm and supportive, and she focuses on understanding what each person is going through.

Her sessions are inquisitive and explorative. She combines ways of working that look at past patterns, current thoughts and behaviors, and how trauma has shaped a person's life. Conversations are aimed at helping people make meaning of difficult experiences and find workable steps forward.

Paulina has worked with a broad range of emotional and health concerns. She supports people coping with chronic health problems, caregiver stress, attachment and relationship struggles, and the losses that come with divorce or separation. She also addresses cultural and immigration-related stresses and feelings of isolation and loneliness.

Her practice brings together different evidence-based therapeutic techniques so she can tailor care to each person. Sessions focus on building practical coping skills while also exploring deeper emotional patterns when that feels helpful. The goal is to help people manage symptoms and regain a stronger sense of direction.

People who choose her can expect a steady, respectful approach. She listens closely, asks thoughtful questions, and works with clients to set realistic goals. Those interested should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Paulina integrates person-centered work and cognitive behavioral approaches in ways that are easy to follow. Person-centered work focuses on listening closely and helping people name their feelings and goals, which is useful for building trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioral approaches look at thoughts and behaviors and help people try small, practical changes to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or low mood.

She also brings trauma-informed attention to sessions, which means she pays careful attention to how past experiences affect current reactions and pacing. Choosing the right blend of approaches is collaborative - she will talk with each person about what feels most helpful and adjust methods as therapy progresses.

Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives because it can reduce travel and save time. Confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments, handle short check-ins during the week, or focus on practical skill-building between sessions. The therapist will help tailor the approach and scheduling to fit daily routines and goals.
