About Paulina
LCSW-R (New York) with 22 years of clinical experience, Paulina Ulano focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. She practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. Her work covers a broad range of related concerns, including mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and multicultural issues.
Paulina uses several evidence-based techniques in her sessions. She blends psychodynamic ideas with trauma-informed and person-centered work, and she also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies. Sessions tend to be explorative and inquisitive, with attention to personal history and present patterns of thinking and behavior.
The therapist helps people talk through difficult emotions and practical problems. She looks at how past relationships shape current reactions and pairs that understanding with concrete coping skills. That combination aims to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her background includes extensive psychotherapy practice in New York across many clinical situations and health concerns. Those years of experience inform how she assesses risk, safety, and longer-term patterns. She also pays attention to cultural context and immigration-related issues when relevant to the concerns people bring.
Paulina’s approach is collaborative. She listens, asks questions to clarify what matters most, and works with each person to set goals. People who want to begin are directed to follow the site’s online matching and scheduling steps to arrange an initial session.

Approaches used and what online work looks like
Paulina integrates two broad, evidence-based ways of working. Psychodynamic-informed work looks at patterns that developed from earlier relationships and life events, helping people see how those patterns affect current feelings and behavior. Cognitive behavioral strategies focus on noticing and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying practical skills to change mood and behavior.She also uses trauma-informed principles when trauma or abuse are part of the story, which means paying attention to how past harm affects the body and emotions while avoiding retraumatizing approaches. Choosing the right mix of methods is collaborative; she will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful before shaping the plan.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday routine, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is difficult. Licensed professionals can adjust pacing and techniques to work well over distance and help people practice skills between sessions.
