About Priscilla

Priscilla Barone is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on family and parenting concerns and related stressors. She brings 16 years of clinical experience and works with parents and adults facing anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship strain, and parenting challenges.

Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel heard and make practical changes that fit daily life. In sessions she uses clear, hands-on methods rather than jargon.

Background and approach

She draws on Attachment-Based approaches to look at patterns formed in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-centered techniques create space for people to express themselves and set goals at their own pace.

Priscilla has worked in outpatient community health clinics and in adolescent residential settings, giving her experience with a range of family dynamics and youth-related issues. She has special training in trauma work, suicide prevention, and Reactive Attachment Disorder, and she has a strong interest in dissociative and anxiety disorders.

Her sessions often include creative and expressive methods alongside talk therapy when that serves the person’s needs. She aims to motivate clients to find their strengths and practical steps forward. Sessions are offered in English and are provided through multiple online formats to fit different schedules.

People seeking help with parenting, coping with life changes, recovery from abuse, or improving day-to-day family functioning may find her approach practical and compassionate.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Priscilla often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to examine how early relationship patterns affect current family and parenting dynamics. This approach looks at how people connect, respond to stress, and form bonds, which can help with parenting and relationship strain.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust strategies as progress is made. Clients and therapist work together to pick what feels most useful for parenting, trauma recovery, or daily stress management.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules. These options make it easier to attend regularly, use brief check-ins between sessions, and choose the format that best suits comfort and availability.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
