Arianna Pescatore , IN Psychologist 20042089A

Arianna Pescatore uses practical, evidence-informed therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She is an Indiana psychologist with a Psy.D. and 21 years of clinical work experience. Arianna writes plainly and focuses on what clients can do between sessions to feel steadier day to day.

She spent much of her career working in the federal prison system, where she developed skills in crisis stabilization and in helping people build coping plans under pressure. That background taught her to prioritize safety, clear steps, and direct skill practice. Sessions are focused and task-oriented while still leaving room to listen and reflect.

Arianna uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness methods. She helps people notice patterns in thinking, practice new coping skills, and bring attention back to the present moment. These approaches are used to address mood concerns, addictions, anger, and struggles with motivation or purpose.

She also helps people who feel isolated, empty, or stuck after separation or big life changes. Common topics include body image, codependency, commitment issues, and communication problems. Arianna supports clients in building everyday routines that support recovery and emotional balance.

Sessions are offered in English and provided from Indiana. The therapist holds the credential IN Psychologist 20042089A and draws on two decades of clinical experience when tailoring plans to each person.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Arianna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that keep problems going. CBT breaks concerns into clear steps so clients can try small experiments between sessions and notice what helps.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach skills for regulating strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. DBT offers concrete tools for handling anger, urges, and intense anxiety while building healthier ways to cope.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try methods together and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to match tools to the person's real-life needs.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and feedback. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let clients send questions or progress notes between meetings and can fit busy schedules. These options make regular work on goals easier to maintain from different locations in Indiana.
