About Theodosia
Dr. Theodosia Paclawskyj is a Florida psychologist with seventeen years of clinical work helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also supports people living with ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, and intellectual disability.
She speaks English and Ukrainian and brings a multicultural view to sessions. Her style is compassionate and practical. She listens first, then helps people break problems into small, usable steps.
Sessions focus on building coping skills for day-to-day life, improving sleep, and reducing overwhelm.
Background and approach
The goal is clearer routines and more reliable ways to cope with strong emotions. Dr. Paclawskyj uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide recovery from trauma and improve mood and functioning.
She works with people to strengthen resilience and identify strategies that fit their daily lives. That can mean practicing new ways to manage anxiety or finding routines that improve sleep. She aims to create an affirming space for people from diverse backgrounds.
Her ability to speak Ukrainian can help clients who prefer that language. She draws on years of experience to match interventions to the person in front of her rather than using one fixed method. Practical concerns are part of the work.
Sessions may include short skills practice, discussions of routines and supports, and problem-solving for parenting stress or compassion fatigue. Her approach centers on steady progress and concrete tools people can use between sessions.
Approaches that guide online therapy
Dr. Paclawskyj uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions in straightforward ways. One commonly used method focuses on building concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress - teaching step-by-step strategies to manage worry, reduce overwhelm, and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on trauma recovery, which emphasizes pacing, stabilization skills, and gradual work on distressing memories so people can feel safer and more in control of their reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, set goals, and try methods that fit their situation. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most, and clients are invited to share preferences about pace and focus throughout therapy.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for short check-ins or when typing feels best, and text messaging supports frequent, brief skill practice between sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy schedules and different communication styles.
