About Adrianna
Adrianna Restiano is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, and the strain of parenting. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and major life changes.
Her approach balances listening with focused, goal-oriented work. Sessions are often practical and action-focused. Clients can expect conversation that names problems, explores options, and tries small changes between meetings.
Adrianna uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. She draws on these approaches to address mood symptoms, communication problems, attachment concerns, and coping with caregiver stress.
She has experience with issues such as codependency, body image, control problems, panic attacks, seasonal affective disorder, family problems, divorce and separation, and questions about life purpose. That range allows her to adapt exercises and conversations to different everyday stresses.
Practical matters are part of the work. Adrianna guides clients through step-by-step goals and helps identify small, steady changes they can try between sessions. To begin, readers select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Adrianna uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters most and take small actions toward those values, even when difficult feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, life changes, and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework. It is commonly used for panic, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions and improve communication patterns that affect close relationships.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process can include trying a technique, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan over time.

Online therapy can make regular meetings easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. It also makes it simpler to keep momentum between appointments by scheduling sessions from wherever daily life happens, while the therapist and client figure out a rhythm that works for them.
