About Sophia

Sophia Resciniti is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and other life challenges. She communicates plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each person. Sophia tailors conversations and plans to each individual rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions.

Her approach draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and build values-driven action.

Background and approach

She also uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand relationship patterns and improve emotional connection. Sessions focus on clear steps and realistic goals that fit daily life. Sophia brings experience across many concerns, including addictions, parenting, intimacy-related issues, career stress, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

She also has experience with aging and geriatric issues, dissociation, domestic violence, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. This range informs how she shapes each plan and the strategies she suggests. Sessions are offered in English and Greek and are provided via multiple online formats.

Sophia emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every conversation. She encourages people to take the first step toward change and supports them through setbacks and progress alike. Based in New York as NY LCSW 079297, Sophia works with a subscription-based model that can be canceled at any time.

She aims to make therapy practical, understandable, and focused on the things a person wants to change.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on helping people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and test unhelpful thoughts and build small behavioral changes that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. These methods pair well with clear homework and brief skill practice between visits.

Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. In online sessions this work often involves mapping patterns, practicing new ways of communicating, and reflecting on needs and boundaries. That approach can be helpful for intimacy-related concerns and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how different methods might fit. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. These formats allow for ongoing check-ins, repeated practice of skills between sessions, and quicker ways to raise timely issues when they occur. The flexibility supports consistent progress while accommodating work, family, and other obligations.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
