Paola Pawlicki, LMHC

Paola Pawlicki is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. Paola brings a warm, accepting presence to sessions and emphasizes the relationship between client and therapist as the foundation for change.

Her approach centers on treating each person as an individual. She uses client-centered work to listen and reflect what’s most important to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. Mindfulness techniques help people notice what’s happening in the moment without judgment.

Paola often works with people coping with attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, control and dependent personality patterns, and addiction-related challenges. She also supports those dealing with eating and food issues, isolation, jealousy, impulsivity, fertility stresses, and questions about life purpose.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She focuses on growing self-awareness and self-acceptance so clients feel more confident and hopeful. Sessions aim to move someone from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and steadier daily routines.

Paola practices in Florida and conducts therapy in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How Paola Uses Client-Centered, CBT, and Mindfulness Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters most to the client. This approach helps people feel heard and valued as they sort out difficult feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. It helps identify thoughts that increase anxiety or stress and tests small behavior changes to see what helps. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to notice thoughts and sensations without judgment, which can reduce reactivity and support steadier moods.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can shift as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy days, make it easier to join from different locations, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can still include practical CBT exercises, mindful practices to use between meetings, and a client-centered conversation that keeps focus on what matters to you.
