Paulina Ulano

Paulina Ulano is a licensed clinical social worker who offers psychotherapy in New York. She brings 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and major life changes including divorce and separation. Her manner is warm and supportive, and she keeps sessions explorative and curious to help people find clearer footing.

She combines several evidence-based ways of working to match each person's needs. Sessions often draw on psychodynamic ideas to consider patterns from the past and how they show up now. She also uses person-centered ways of listening and cognitive behavioral ideas to practice new thoughts and behaviors.

Paulina takes a trauma-informed stance when addressing trauma and abuse, helping people stabilize and learn coping skills. She also supports those facing chronic health issues, caregiver stress, and the emotional effects of immigration and isolation. The aim is practical change alongside emotional understanding.

People come for help with mood disorders, social anxiety, attachment questions, and blended family or communication problems. She works with grief and life-purpose concerns too. Her long experience in New York gives her familiarity with many cultural and life situations.

Therapy begins with conversation about goals and current struggles. From there she and the person shape an approach that blends listening, reflection, and concrete strategies. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-based approaches and how they translate online

Paulina blends a few practical, evidence-based approaches to help people make changes. Psychodynamic work looks at longstanding patterns that affect current relationships and feelings. It helps when someone wants to understand why they repeat certain behaviors or feel stuck.

Person-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and support. It creates space for people to lead the conversation and investigate what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral techniques involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what the client finds helpful. Clients take an active role in deciding which tools to use and when to shift focus.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It can also let people use shorter sessions or avoid video when that better suits their day. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about practical arrangements and what will work best for scheduling and communication.
