About Paula
LMHC in Washington with 24 years of experience, Paula Soria helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and depression.
Paula uses practical conversation and problem-solving in sessions. She listens for what feels most urgent and helps people break concerns into small, doable steps. Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish, and she draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques when appropriate.
Her work often focuses on coping and symptom management. That includes skills for panic and anxiety, ways to process grief, and strategies to rebuild confidence after setbacks. She also assists with caregiving strain and aging-related concerns, including the stresses caregivers report.
Paula pays attention to family of origin patterns, communication problems, and codependency that affect current relationships. She can talk through issues like body image, eating-related concerns, and jealousy while keeping conversations concrete and focused on change.
Immigration and multicultural concerns are part of her practice when they relate to a person's stress or mood. She identifies specific, short-term goals and tracks progress so sessions stay focused on what the person wants to accomplish.
To get started, people answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time. If you need confirmation of session formats, check the booking options before scheduling.

How evidence-based approaches are used in virtual sessions
Paula works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and problem-solving. One common approach is skill-building for anxiety and panic - teaching breathing and grounding methods, then practicing ways to respond to panic symptoms so they interfere less with daily life. Another approach addresses grief and depression by helping people organize their thoughts, set small activity goals, and track mood changes to notice progress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Paula will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit those needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The aim is to find practical tools that a person can use between sessions.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for remote work, such as guided breathing, worksheet-based skill practice, and planning tasks to try between meetings. These practical benefits help integrate therapy into everyday life without promising a specific session type.
