Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Arianna Pescatore utilizes several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve day-to-day functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive or self-destructive behaviors - it can be especially helpful for emotion regulation and anger management. Mindfulness Therapy helps clients develop present-moment awareness and self-compassion, which can reduce rumination, improve focus, and support recovery from addiction and mood difficulties.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Arianna works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors techniques from these approaches to fit the individual’s situation. Together the client and therapist refine strategies over time to ensure a good fit and meaningful progress.

Online therapy with Arianna can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care and to access therapy from the home or other convenient settings, while still working with a licensed professional.
