Arianna Pescatore

Arianna Pescatore is a clinical psychologist who brings 21 years of experience to her work in Indiana. She earned a Doctor of Psychology degree and holds the credential IN Psychologist 20042089A. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and self-esteem concerns.

Her background includes long-term clinical work in the federal prison system. That experience shaped a direct, practical approach to coping and behavior change. She helps people build skills for emotional regulation, motivation, and resilience in everyday life.

In sessions she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Conversations are focused and straightforward, with attention to what works between visits. She emphasizes collaborative goal-setting so clients know what to expect from their time together.

Arianna uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness practices to address mood and behavior patterns. These approaches are used to reduce overwhelming emotions, improve coping with cravings or impulses, and support clearer thinking during stressful times.

People who come to her often want concrete strategies they can use right away. She supports clients in building confidence, managing anger and addiction-related challenges, and finding renewed purpose after painful events.

How DBT, CBT, and Mindfulness Translate to Online Care

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It helps people change patterns that feed anxiety, low mood, or problem behaviors by practicing new thinking and actions.

DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It offers step-by-step tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication when feelings run high.

Mindfulness therapy builds attention to the present moment and reduces reactivity. Short, guided exercises can help reduce rumination and strengthen awareness of bodily and emotional signals.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and daily life, then recommend techniques from these methods that fit those needs. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Please confirm available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, require less travel time, and allow a quieter check-in during a work break or between appointments. It can also let therapists focus on homework, skills practice, and short follow-ups that support progress between sessions.
