About Paula

Paula Corano is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California, holding license number CA LMFT 83322. She earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and is certified to provide Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) through the University of California, Davis. As an LMFT, she is trained to work with individuals, couples, and families to address relational and mental health challenges in the context of family systems.

With 15 years of clinical experience, Paula applies a strength-based and holistic method that balances empathy with practical guidance. She helps clients clarify goals, shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and develop skills that support lasting change. Her work includes focused interventions for children’s behavioral and emotional concerns through PCIT as well as support for adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and major life transitions.

Paula values cross-cultural understanding and respects the diverse backgrounds of the people she serves. Her style blends compassionate listening with goal-oriented strategies, honoring each person’s perseverance while collaborating on meaningful steps toward greater well-being and fulfillment.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Paula blends Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address emotional and relational concerns in online formats. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns, helping individuals and couples improve trust, connection, and communication. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and the client’s own goals, creating space for self-discovery and personal growth through nonjudgmental support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Paula collaborates with each person to determine what fits best. She assesses needs, preferences, and goals together with the client and adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy lives and for those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to maintain continuity, access support from different locations, and integrate therapy into daily routines while working with licensed professionals who tailor treatment to each client’s circumstances.
