About Arianna
Arianna Pescatore is an Indiana Psychologist (IN Psychologist 20042089A) with 21 years of clinical experience. She holds a Psy.D. and has spent much of her career working in the federal prison system. Arianna helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and low self-esteem.
She uses clear, practical approaches in sessions. That includes working on coping skills for sudden anger and built-up resentment. She also helps people reduce anxiety, manage cravings, and rebuild confidence after setbacks.
Arianna draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness methods. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, learning concrete behavioral skills, and using simple mindfulness exercises to calm intense feelings. Sessions focus on what clients can do between meetings as well as in-session skill practice.
Her background in institutional settings has given her experience with high-stress situations and complex presentations. She is used to helping people who face overlapping problems such as mood disorders, substance use issues, and relationship stress. The aim is practical change rather than quick fixes.
People working on anger will spend time learning to notice triggers, pause before reacting, and try new ways of responding. For other concerns she helps set small, achievable goals and track progress. To begin, readers are encouraged to follow the site steps to see online therapy options and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions usually include setting clear goals, practicing new skills during the meeting, and assigning brief exercises to do between sessions. This approach is helpful for anger linked to automatic thinking and for low mood or anxiety.DBT offers practical skills for regulating strong emotions and improving how someone responds in heated moments. DBT work online often uses short coaching-style practice of grounding, distress tolerance, and communication skills so people can try them in real time and report back.
Mindfulness therapy trains present-moment awareness through brief exercises and breathing techniques. When used online it can help someone notice the first signs of rising anger and choose a different action rather than reacting immediately.
Choosing the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest an approach to test and adjust together.
