With six years of professional experience, Pagano addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, stress, addictions, grief, and ADHD.

He also focuses on attachment difficulties, abandonment, family of origin issues, intimacy and sexual concerns, body image, and career or life transitions.

Integrating attachment and client-centered work in online care



Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses; this approach helps people understand and change recurring dynamics that cause distress in relationships and attachment-related anxieties. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience, using empathy and nonjudgmental support to foster self-understanding and personal growth; it is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and coping with stress. Motivational Interviewing complements these approaches by helping clients clarify their goals and increase readiness for change when addressing behaviors such as substance use or other habit patterns.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to support progress and personal insight.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across life changes and to choose the communication style that feels most accessible and effective for the individual.
