About Pauline
Pauline Arquero-Canlas is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She brings four years of clinical experience and speaks English and Tagalog. Pauline focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions.
She aims to create a respectful, calm space where people can talk through what matters most to them. Pauline uses approaches that include Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns in how people relate to themselves and others, and she helps them try different ways of responding to old habits. People come to her for many issues such as relationship strain, parenting stress, career challenges, grief, and chronic illness. She also works with concerns like attachment wounds, abandonment, body image, guilt, shame, and panic symptoms.
Pauline helps people break down problems into manageable steps and build practical coping skills. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She invites clients to name their goals and to test changes between sessions.
Mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and narrative work are used when they match a person’s needs. Pauline offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She explains how the subscription model works and how to start a plan.
The first step is a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling according to therapist availability.

Online support
How emotion-focused and practical approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on recognizing and working with strong emotions in relationships and personal patterns. It helps people name feelings and try new responses when old reactions cause pain. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s goals and experience, offering empathic listening and gentle guidance to help clients find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and emotions connect and uses small experiments and skill-building to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and together decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made, and techniques from different approaches may be combined to meet what you need in the moment.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who want short check-ins, written reflections, or more frequent contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines and let people choose what works best for them.
