Paola Pawlicki, LMHC

Paola Pawlicki is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with seven years of professional experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. Paola uses straightforward, person-focused care and values a strong therapeutic relationship as the basis for change.

Clients meet with her to talk through how habits and patterns affect everyday life. She helps people notice when they put others first at their own expense, when avoiding conflict becomes a default, or when substance use and impulsive choices get in the way. Sessions focus on clear steps that can reduce overwhelm and increase a sense of control.

Paola draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and respond to what each person brings. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Mindfulness techniques to build steady awareness in stressful moments. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help shifting habits like drinking or other addictive behaviors.

Her approach treats people as capable of change while recognizing change often takes time and practice. Paola encourages practical experiments between sessions and small, measurable goals. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and offers concrete tools rather than abstract theory.

People who come to her often want clearer boundaries, fewer mood-driven reactions, or support managing addictive urges. Paola invites a collaborative process where the client’s values and choices guide each step forward.
