About Arianna
Arianna Pescatore is an Indiana clinical psychologist (IN Psychologist 20042089A) with 21 years of clinical experience. She has a Psy.D. and many years working inside the federal prison system. She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, low self esteem, and related concerns such as codependency and feelings of emptiness.
She uses straightforward, skills-based methods that people can apply between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach to spot unhelpful thoughts and change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills help with strong emotions and impulse control. Mindfulness techniques are used to build attention and reduce reactivity.
In sessions she focuses on practical strategies for coping and for improving everyday functioning. That can include setting small behavior goals, practicing communication skills, and developing ways to manage cravings or angry reactions. Work often centers on noticing patterns that keep someone stuck and trying out different responses.
Her background in corrections shapes a calm, direct style with people who face complex problems and co-occurring issues. She has experience with first responder concerns, substance use, and mood disorders. The aim is to help people increase their day-to-day stability and feel more able to handle stress.
Sessions take place with considerations for local practice in Indiana. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. Prospective clients are asked to use the site flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying different behaviors. In online sessions this often looks like reviewing recent situations, testing small behavior changes, and assigning brief practice exercises to do between meetings. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits.DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Online sessions can include practicing grounding techniques, distress-tolerance exercises, and clear steps for handling high-arousal moments. These skills are useful for anger, impulsive reactions, and relationship patterns that feel overwhelming.
Mindfulness therapy trains attention to reduce reactivity and improve focus. In a virtual setting this can mean short guided practices and simple daily exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept up in them.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose which methods to try based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That selection can change over time as someone tests what works in their life.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the profile does not list specific formats. Ask about available options during the site intake. One practical advantage of online work is fitting sessions into a busy schedule - it can reduce travel time and make shorter check-ins easier to arrange. Online meetings also let people practice skills in real-life settings and bring immediate situations into the conversation.
