About Arianna
Arianna Pescatore is a clinical psychologist licensed in Indiana with a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) and 21 years of clinical experience. She draws on long-term work in the federal prison system to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns. She frames reaching out for help as a sign of strength and aims to make the first step easier for worried people and parents.
In sessions she focuses on practical tools that help with day-to-day coping. She helps people who struggle with anger, low self-esteem, motivation, or feelings of emptiness to build steadier routines and responses. She also addresses interpersonal patterns such as communication problems, commitment issues, and codependency where they appear in a person's life.
Arianna uses straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try alternative behaviors. She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness practices are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactive responses. Sessions are conducted in English and are scheduled from Indiana. For international arrangements note that she does not accept international clients. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the Start Therapy steps to begin.
Using CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness Online
Arianna draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy along with mindfulness practices to address everyday struggles. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that lead to better outcomes. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on noticing present-moment experience to reduce automatic reactions and increase calm.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest combinations of techniques to try. That collaborative process helps match skills and strategies to the issues someone is facing, whether it is anxiety, codependency patterns, or managing cravings and mood shifts.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into work breaks, avoid travel time, or use a shorter phone check-in when needed. Online sessions can make it easier to practice skills in real life and bring recent situations into the conversation for immediate problem solving.
