About Adrianna
Adrianna Restiano is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with five years of post-licensure experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship struggles, and life changes. Adrianna lists codependency among her additional focus areas and also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, and mood concerns.
Her approach begins with listening. Sessions combine straight talk and goal-focused steps. Clients can expect practical tasks between meetings alongside conversation in session. Adrianna uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered work to help people notice what matters to them and change small behaviors.
She also draws on Emotionally-Focused and Existential ideas when relationships or life purpose are central concerns. That can mean looking at how people relate to others, how emotions show up in close moments, and what gives life meaning. These perspectives are chosen to match the problem being worked on rather than as a fixed plan.
Adrianna has experience supporting people through crisis, compassion fatigue, and the strain of caregiving. She helps with concrete skills for panic, seasonal mood shifts, and managing change after separation or loss. Sessions aim to make next steps clearer and more manageable.
Sessions are conducted in English. Adrianna does not currently take international clients. To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How sessions work
How Adrianna’s approaches translate to online sessions
Adrianna uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and people-pleasing patterns. She also brings in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes, which can help with panic, low mood, and negative self-beliefs.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Adrianna will talk with each person about what feels useful and adjust methods based on goals, preferences, and how problems show up in daily life. That process is collaborative and revisited as progress is made.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, avoid travel time, and choose a shorter check-in when days are tight. Ask about the session options available so you can plan around work, childcare, or other commitments.
