About Arianna
Arianna Pescatore is a clinical psychologist licensed in Indiana with 21 years of clinical experience. She holds a Doctor of Psychology, Psy.D., and brings a calm, direct manner to sessions. Parents often contact her about anxiety, stress, depression, and problems with anger or substance use.
She emphasizes practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her background includes long-term work in the federal prison system, where she developed skills in managing high-stress situations.
Background and approach
That experience shaped her focus on mood disorders, addictions, and building resilience after difficult events. She also helps people work through issues such as low self-esteem, isolation, and problems with communication. In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy.
These approaches are used to identify unhelpful thinking, teach coping skills, and develop strategies to manage intense emotions. Sessions aim to be clear and skill-focused so people leave with tools they can use right away. Arianna frames therapy as a collaboration.
She listens first, then helps set small, doable goals. She works at a steady pace so progress can be measured and adjusted as needed. Therapy is offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
People should expect straightforward feedback, practical skills training, and a focus on building emotional strength over time.
How Arianna Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It breaks problems into small steps and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, centers on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. It is useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when anger and impulsive behaviors get in the way. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and present-moment awareness to help people notice and respond differently to stress and negative thinking.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist listens to your goals, current challenges, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together you will try methods that match your needs and adjust them over time so progress can be tracked and plans refined.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
