About Arianna
Arianna Pescatore is a clinical psychologist licensed in Indiana with 21 years of experience. She brings practical tools and calm guidance to people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and addictions. She writes plainly and listens first, helping people find steps they can use right away.
She trained as a Psy.D. and spent much of her career working in the federal prison system. That background gave her a lot of experience with intense emotions, problems with substance use, and conflicts that affect daily life.
Background and approach
She uses what she learned there to help people build steadier routines and clearer thinking. Arianna favors approaches rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, paired with mindfulness practices. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and practice skills for managing strong feelings.
These methods are aimed at day-to-day changes rather than abstract ideas alone. People who come to her often need help with anger, low self-esteem, relationship stress, or feeling stuck after a breakup or life change. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, isolation, codependency, and substance challenges.
Sessions focus on concrete goals and small steps toward them. Her style is straightforward and nonjudgmental. She encourages questions and works collaboratively on plans that fit each person’s life.
The first conversations are often about safety, priorities, and what change would look like week to week.

Approaches Arianna lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Practical therapies adapted for online care
Arianna uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify thoughts that fuel distress and to test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework to try between meetings.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be practiced step by step in sessions.
Finding the right approach is a process. Arianna works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. That collaborative approach helps tailor skills to what a person actually needs.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit support into a busy schedule. Video is useful for deeper conversations and role-play, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports brief updates or reminders between meetings. These formats make it possible to keep momentum and practice skills in real time, even when travel or time is tight.
