About Juan
Juan Pauli is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in California with 30 years of experience. He speaks English and Spanish and has guided many people through anxiety, stress, addiction concerns, depression, and reactions to trauma and abuse. He aims to make the first step feel doable for someone who is unsure or nervous.
In session he creates a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through what is most troubling. He listens for patterns that keep a person stuck and helps them try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Conversations stay practical and focused on what the person wants to change. Juan draws on client-centered methods to follow the person's lead. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to examine unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
He also integrates skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help manage strong emotions and impulsive reactions. He commonly addresses relationship strain, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or shame. Other topics he helps with include abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, money worries, and questions about life purpose.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. He meets people where they are and works collaboratively to set goals and adjust the plan as progress happens.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-centered therapy puts the person and their goals at the center of each session, focusing on listening and understanding what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the pace of change in ways that fit their life.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors between sessions, and building small skills to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsivity. In an online format, DBT skills work can include short coaching conversations, role practice over video, and written reminders through messaging.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Juan will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those needs, and adjust the plan if something isn't working. That way therapy stays practical and focused on real-life changes.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and travel.
