About Arianna
Arianna Pescatore uses practical, skills-based approaches to help people manage stress and strong emotions. She is an Indiana psychologist with 21 years of clinical experience and focuses on clear tools people can use right away. She has long experience working in the federal prison system.
That background shaped a direct style that still makes room for warmth and respect. Sessions aim to teach concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and low self-esteem.
How Arianna works
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. That means clients learn to notice unhelpful patterns, try different ways of thinking, and practice simple attention and breathing skills. Techniques are explained plainly and practiced in ways that fit daily life.
Arianna helps people who feel stuck by focusing on short, achievable goals. Conversations cover coping skills, communication problems, commitment worries, and challenges tied to isolation or life purpose. She also addresses substance use, codependency, and mood concerns with straightforward plans.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. People leave sessions with clear next steps and tools to use between appointments.
She provides care in English and works remotely with people located in Indiana. The approach is practical and goal oriented, focused on usable skills for everyday challenges.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It helps with anxiety, depression, and problem behaviors by teaching concrete thinking and behavior changes.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It is useful for strong emotions, anger, and relationship patterns that cause repeated conflict.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Those skills pair well with CBT and DBT to support mood and stress management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and day-to-day life. Sessions include checking progress and adjusting techniques as needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit faster check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and practice skills consistently.
