About Adrianna
Adrianna Restiano is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship concerns. She brings five years of post-licensure experience and a calm, practical approach to sessions. Adrianna focuses on listening closely and helping clients set clear, manageable goals.
She uses empathy alongside active problem solving to help people make steady changes. Clients can expect a warm, straightforward style in early sessions. Adrianna starts by hearing the immediate problem and identifying priorities.
Background and approach
She helps break big issues into small steps that feel doable. Sessions include both talking and skill-building so people leave with actionable ideas. Her work draws on several therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.
That mix lets her tailor interventions to mood, anxiety, life transitions, and the attention differences many people navigate. Adrianna aims to help clients notice what matters, change unhelpful habits, and act on personal values. Adrianna has experience addressing grief, trauma, caregiving stress, and mood disorders alongside everyday strains like work pressure or parenting stress.
She also supports people coping with identity, body image, and communication problems. Her experience includes five years as an LMHC practicing in New York. Sessions are offered in English and use flexible formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Adrianna describes therapy as collaborative work and helps each person choose a practical path forward.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting locked into them, then taking steps toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and making changes despite attention challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes to reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the persony offering a nonjudgmental, listening stance that helps build self-understanding and motivation for change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Adrianna collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and everyday life. She may combine tools from different approaches so sessions feel practical and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats: video calls for a face-to-face experience, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving routines, or days with low energy while still using the same core therapeutic methods.
