Arianna Pescatore is a clinical psychologist with a Psy.D. and 21 years of experience. She practiced extensively in the federal prison system and brings a steady, practical approach to emotional and behavioral concerns. She speaks English and is based in Indiana. Arianna focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and addiction-related concerns. She helps people manage anger, build motivation, and strengthen resilience. She also supports people working through feelings of emptiness, isolation, and relationship-related patterns such as codependency or commitment issues. Her work uses clear, evidence-based tools rather than jargon. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation and handling intense feelings. Mindfulness practices help with grounding and staying present. In sessions she aims for an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. She focuses on practical strategies a person can try between meetings. Progress looks different for everyone, and she works at a steady pace matched to each person’s needs. Arianna’s background in institutional settings gives her experience with high-stress situations and complicated life stories. If a parent is worried about mood, addiction, or ongoing anxiety during pregnancy and childbirth, she can help explore coping plans and sources of support.

How CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness can fit into online care

Arianna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought that lead to distress and practice small behavior changes that can improve mood and functioning. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related problems.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills can be useful when feelings feel overwhelming or when someone struggles with repeated impulsive behaviors.

Mindfulness approaches are used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Simple breathing and grounding exercises can make daily stressors easier to handle and support recovery from addictive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This conversation is practical and ongoing, not a one-time decision.

Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session choices before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around parenting, work, or medical appointments by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows continuity of care during life transitions such as pregnancy and childbirth, while still letting the therapist and client focus on concrete skills and real-world problem solving.
