About Sophia
Sophia Resciniti is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 15 years of experience to her practice in New York. She uses a direct, respectful style to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood concerns, and struggles with addiction. Sophia speaks English and Greek and aims to make conversations clear and straightforward.
She blends practical skills with exploration of values and relationships. That means working on concrete coping strategies along with looking at what matters most to the person.
How Sophia works
Sessions focus on real-life challenges like parenting strain, work stress, relationship hurts, and managing intense emotions. Sophia adapts each plan to fit the person she is working with. She listens first, then offers tools such as behavior-focused strategies, attention to attachment patterns, and work on personal meaning and goals.
Those tools can help with panic, obsessive behaviors, low self-esteem, and hard life transitions. Her background includes long-term work supporting people after trauma, during grief, and when facing compassion fatigue or burnout. She also has experience with aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and first responder concerns.
This range informs a practical approach to complex problems. Sophia encourages steady progress and small changes that add up. She helps people set realistic steps, notice what works, and shift strategies when needed.
The focus is on finding clearer thinking, calmer reactions, and a stronger sense of purpose.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them, while teaching practical ways to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and uses specific exercises to reduce anxiety, panic, obsessive behaviors, and depressive patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how past and current relationships shape trust and emotional responses, helping people change patterns that cause trouble in close connections.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. That conversation guides whether a values-focused, skills-based, or relationship-focused path is used, and the plan is adjusted over time in collaboration with the client.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing one another. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support quick touchpoints, ongoing encouragement, and reflection between longer sessions. These formats increase flexibility and make regular work on stress, trauma, and life changes easier to maintain.
