About Adrianna
Adrianna Restiano is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings five years of post-licensure experience and additional supervised practice to her work. Adrianna offers calm, attentive listening along with focused goal-setting to help people make changes they want to see. Her style aims to be straightforward and compassionate for those feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or life transitions.
She commonly helps people dealing with depression, self-esteem struggles, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and grief, and caregiver or compassion fatigue. Codependency and attachment issues are among the additional concerns she addresses. Adrianna also supports people facing mood disorders, ADHD challenges, panic attacks, and seasonal mood shifts.
Adrianna blends approaches rather than relying on a single method. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift patterns of thinking, and Client-Centered techniques to build trust and understanding. Emotionally-Focused and Existential ideas also inform her work when exploring emotions and life meaning.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Adrianna listens first, then helps set achievable steps toward change. She emphasizes collaborative planning so people leave sessions with clear next steps. Her language is plain and direct to make therapy feel less intimidating.
People who choose her often want steady support through transitions like divorce, parenting stress, grief, or recovery from abuse. To begin, clients use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to the therapist’s availability.
Approaches that guide online work
Adrianna often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing inner experiences and choosing actions that align with a chosen life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another frequent tool and helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy informs her manner of showing empathy and following the client's lead while building a collaborative relationship.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Adrianna treats approach selection as a team effort, asking about goals and preferences and adjusting methods over time. She will work with each person to try strategies and keep what helps while discarding what does not.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Ask about available options during the matching step so scheduling fits into daily routines. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, or travel, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commuting time. Those practical benefits often help people sustain regular work toward their goals.
