About Adrianna
Adrianna Restiano is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in New York with five years of post-licensure practice. She works with people on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship concerns, parenting questions, trauma, grief, and life changes. She describes her approach as focused listening combined with goal-oriented work to help clients make practical changes.
Restiano uses techniques drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy. Sessions emphasize listening first, then setting clear goals and practicing skills between meetings. She frames counseling as a sequence of concrete steps aimed at reducing distress and improving daily functioning.
Her background includes supporting people through crisis, mood disorders, panic attacks, ADHD-related concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also lists work on attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and life purpose. These focus areas guide the choice of interventions and session priorities.
Restiano says she blends listening with structured, goal-driven exercises. That can include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing behavioral changes, and clarifying values and relationships. Clients can expect a mix of reflection and practical assignments meant to produce measurable progress.
She offers services in English from New York. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life direction concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practice and feedback, which can reduce symptoms like panic attacks and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes reflective listening and the client’s own goals, helping people feel understood while they make changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is reviewed across sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people build consistency in care and practice skills between appointments.
