About Sophia
Sophia Resciniti is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 15 years of practice. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and addictive behaviors. Sophia approaches sessions with respect and patience and aims to create a straightforward space for people to talk about hard things.
She uses practical methods tailored to each person’s situation. Sophia pulls from cognitive behavioral approaches to spot unhelpful thoughts and from acceptance-based work to help people live by their values.
Background and approach
Attachment ideas guide conversations about relationships and intimacy, while existential perspectives help with life purpose and meaning. Many people come for help after a loss, a breakup, or when work and life feel overwhelming. Sophia also supports those coping with bipolar disorder, panic, obsessive thoughts, or compassion fatigue.
She addresses grief, parenting strain, anger, and issues that touch identity and multicultural experience. Sophia adapts the pace and techniques to what matters to the person in front of her. Sessions can include talking, practical exercises, and goal-setting.
She explains options clearly and offers ways to try new skills between meetings. She speaks English and Greek and has worked across community and clinical settings. Sophia emphasizes steady support while helping people build day-to-day strategies.
If someone wants a pragmatic, values-oriented approach to change, she offers steady guidance and collaborative planning.
Working with evidence-informed approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where life feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It often helps with panic, OCD symptoms, low mood, and stress management.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sophia will talk with each person about their goals, history, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as things change. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, micro-coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and help people fit support into busy lives.
