About Adrianna

Adrianna Restiano brings a strengths-focused, collaborative approach to therapy rooted in evidence-based methods. As an LMHC practicing in New York for five years, she blends active listening with goal-oriented strategies to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and a range of mood and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes compassion and practical skills alongside exploration of values and personal meaning. Clients can expect a therapeutic process that balances structured techniques and empathic support.

Adrianna uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address unhelpful thinking and build flexible coping. She also draws on emotionally-focused and client-centered approaches to strengthen communication, process grief or trauma, and repair relational patterns.

Her practice includes support for issues such as self-esteem, parenting challenges, intimacy-related concerns, bipolar and other mood disorders, and life transitions. Adrianna frames change as a collaborative effort, helping people set achievable goals and learn skills that fit their daily lives.

She welcomes those seeking practical coping strategies, clarity around life purpose, or relief from overwhelming symptoms, and she guides each person toward sustainable steps aligned with their values.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Adrianna uses a mix of practical, evidence-based methods to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorder symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-based action and acceptance of difficult feelings, helping clients develop psychological flexibility and purposeful coping. She also incorporates emotionally-focused and client-centered work to improve connection, empathy, and communication within relationships, which can be helpful for intimacy-related issues and family concerns.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. Adrianna will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adapting techniques from different approaches as progress unfolds and needs change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing individuals to access care from home or wherever they are. These formats can make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use different communication styles that suit day-to-day needs while working toward therapeutic goals.
