Arianna Pescatore

Arianna Pescatore is a clinical psychologist licensed in Indiana who has worked in clinical settings for 21 years. She holds a Psy.D. and offers straightforward, practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and low self-esteem.

She draws on her long experience to help people build everyday coping skills. Sessions focus on learning clear strategies for managing strong feelings. The goal is to make small, usable changes that reduce distress and increase confidence.

Arianna aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what is happening in their lives. She listens for what is getting in the way of daily functioning and helps craft steps that fit each person’s situation.

Her work includes support for problems such as abandonment concerns, communication problems, codependency, and the emotional impact of separation. She also addresses mood disorders, body image issues, substance use concerns, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

In sessions she uses approaches that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior, learning emotional regulation skills, and practicing mindfulness. Those methods are used to help people manage symptoms, handle cravings or urges, and respond differently to stress.

People interested in starting can expect a collaborative process that emphasizes practical tools, steady progress, and clear steps to apply between visits.

How CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness fit online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing urges related to addiction. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense anger, emotional instability, and coping under pressure. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and ground people during strong feelings.

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, needs, and daily routine. That process usually starts with clear goals and some simple skills to try between meetings.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during a work break. It can also let people practice mindfulness and emotion regulation skills in the context of their everyday environment. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and mindfulness exercises to an online setting so tools are practical and applicable between visits.
