About Juan
Juan Pauli is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 30 years of professional experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and depression. He speaks English and Spanish and notes additional familiarity with Portuguese.
He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens to what people are doing day to day and works from there. Conversations focus on clearer thinking, coping skills, and small steps that fit into everyday life.
Juan uses approaches drawn from client-centered practice, cognitive behavioral strategies, and skills from dialectical behavior approaches. He helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and develop ways to tolerate strong emotions without acting impulsively. These methods can be useful for panic, mood issues, and trauma symptoms.
He pays attention to relationship patterns such as attachment and abandonment concerns. He also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, separation and divorce, and financial stressors that affect mental health. Sessions may include practice of specific skills for handling intense feelings or improving communication.
For people who feel stuck with shame, guilt, isolation, or questions about life purpose, he offers a steady, straightforward way to talk things through. If Spanish is preferred he can work in that language. To begin, follow the site's intake steps to match and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client's concerns. It helps people feel heard and guides discussions toward what matters in daily life, such as family, work, or finances. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and patterns. It teaches practical exercises to change thinking and behavior, which can reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive actions. It includes techniques for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and clearer interpersonal communication. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made or priorities change. Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from locations that are convenient for them rather than rearranging a full day.CAreas of focus
