Juan Pauli

Juan Pauli is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of experience helping people manage work and life stress. He practices in California and speaks English and Spanish. He aims to make starting therapy less intimidating and welcomes those who take that first step.

He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and depression. He also addresses concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver strain, communication problems, and loneliness. Common practical problems he sees include panic attacks, mood swings, and trouble with impulse control.

Juan uses clear, conversational sessions where people can speak openly without judgment. He combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also draws on techniques from dialectical behavior approaches to teach coping skills for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

In sessions he helps people set small, achievable goals. That might mean learning a new way to talk with a partner, practicing a calming skill for panic, or creating a plan to reduce addictive behaviors. He keeps language plain and focuses on steps someone can try between meetings.

People who are worried about work strain, life purpose, money stress, or who carry guilt and shame often find this practical focus useful. If you prefer a direct, respectful approach and want concrete strategies alongside listening, he may be a good fit.
