About Sophia

Sophia Resciniti is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York with 15 years of practice. She frames therapy as a cooperative process and focuses on clear, practical steps people can use to manage stress and life transitions. Sophia writes in a straightforward way and centers respect and compassion in sessions.

She often helps people who are coping with anxiety, grief, trauma, and addiction. Relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, jealousy, and career stress are also common topics she addresses. Sophia listens for what matters most to each person and adapts conversation and strategies to fit that situation.

Sophia uses a mix of approaches that aim to increase clarity and action. She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and from acceptance-based work to help people live by their values. Attachment-informed perspectives guide how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional bonds.

Sessions are practical and goal-focused while leaving room for emotion and meaning. Sophia supports people as they practice new ways of coping, make sense of painful experiences, and experiment with change. She emphasizes small, manageable steps so progress feels real.

People who come for help with anger, self-esteem, ADHD, or mood concerns like depression and bipolar issues may find this style useful. Sophia also addresses complex topics such as dissociation, domestic violence impacts, and hospice and end-of-life questions with sensitivity.

She speaks English and Greek. For next steps, the process begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling through the site’s Start Therapy flow.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on what matters to a person and on taking small committed actions toward those values while allowing difficult feelings to exist. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping during big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions, which can be helpful for intimacy issues, relationship strain, and jealousy.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sophia works collaboratively to pick and adapt methods based on a person’s needs, goals, and what feels manageable. She will talk through options and adjust techniques as therapy progresses so the work fits the individual.

Confirm the current online session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer talking without video, while others like a more interactive session; Sophia will help match format to the client’s needs and daily life.
