About Juan
Juan Pauli brings 30 years of professional experience to his practice in California. He is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, trauma and depression. He speaks English and Spanish and welcomes clients who prefer either language.
Juan focuses on building a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they are feeling. He listens for patterns that cause pain and helps clients name the problems they want to change.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a steady, practical pace so people leave with clearer next steps. He blends talk-based work with tools that people can use between sessions. Techniques include ways to change upsetting thoughts, manage strong emotions, and improve communication.
The aim is to reduce symptoms like panic, persistent low mood, or difficulty coping with cravings and triggers. Juan also addresses relationship strains, attachment and abandonment concerns, and the stress that comes with caregiving or financial pressure. He helps people rebuild self-compassion, manage impulsivity, and find clearer purpose when life feels stuck.
People who choose him often want straightforward guidance and workable skills. He supports both short-term problem solving and longer-term growth. To begin, he asks about current struggles, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past.
Online approaches for clear, practical support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and supported so they can identify their own goals and solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for handling intense emotions, managing impulsivity, and improving communication in stressful moments.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That partnership guides whether sessions focus more on skill practice, emotional processing, or problem solving.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins by text, a phone session during a work break, or a video call when more face-to-face interaction helps. The range of formats increases flexibility and helps people stay consistent with the work.
