About Adrianna
Adrianna Restiano is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with five years of independent practice and two additional years providing services under supervision. She works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, relationship strain, and major life adjustments.
Adrianna uses listening and collaborative, goal-focused work to help people make practical changes. Sessions are straightforward and oriented toward clear steps you can try between meetings. She also brings attention to trauma, grief, and caregiver stress when those are part of the problem.
Her approach draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means conversations often combine noticing thoughts and feelings, testing unhelpful behavior patterns, and finding values-based goals that matter to the client. Emotionally-Focused and Existential ideas also inform how she looks at relationships, identity, and purpose.
People often come to her when they feel stuck after school or a move, are dealing with relationship or family conflict, or are trying to manage mood and attention differences like bipolar disorder or ADHD. She also addresses issues such as body image, codependency, panic, and seasonal mood shifts.
In sessions Adrianna keeps things practical. She listens, reflects what she hears, and then works with the client to set manageable objectives. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.
How her approaches fit into online work
Adrianna commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values, which can help with anxiety, avoidance, and questions about life direction. CBT looks at thinking and behavior patterns and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or unhelpful routines.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Adrianna will listen to the client’s goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. She adapts techniques as the work progresses so the plan stays relevant to changing needs.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, since specific options are not listed on the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoid being on camera when someone prefers audio only. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help the work continue week to week while people manage school, jobs, and changing schedules.
