About Adrianna

Adrianna Restiano is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with five years of post-licensure experience. She offers calm, practical support for people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and big life adjustments.

Clients can expect a listening first approach. Adrianna focuses on goal-oriented work that breaks bigger problems into manageable steps. She aims to help people feel steadier and more confident in everyday life.

Her background includes working with worry, mood concerns, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, parenting strain, and challenges such as attention differences and compassion fatigue. She also addresses topics like attachment issues, body image, codependency, and divorce and separation when those show up in a person's life.

Adrianna blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral tools, emotionally focused ideas, client-centered listening, and existential questions about meaning and purpose. Therapy sessions mix practical skill-building with space to talk through feelings.

Her manner is straightforward and compassionate. She invites clear goals and regular check-ins so progress is visible. To begin, people follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Adrianna’s approaches work in online therapy

Adrianna uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. ACT focuses on small, practical steps people can take even when feelings are uncomfortable. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice straightforward skills that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adrianna will collaborate with each person to test what fits best given their concerns, goals, and daily life. She combines listening with skills practice and adjusts the focus as needs evolve.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins around work or family commitments. Some formats may use video or audio and others may be shorter or more conversational; confirm which ones are available when you schedule.
