About Sophia

Sophia Resciniti is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 15 years of experience. She focuses on practical, person-centered care and helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and addiction. Sophia speaks English and Greek and offers a calm, respectful presence during sessions.

She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions typically focus on everyday challenges like parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, and career worries.

Background and approach

Sophia also supports people coping with major life changes, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, and symptoms of ADHD. Her work includes attention to more complex stressors too, including dissociation, domestic violence, first responder concerns, and grief at end of life. She also addresses obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, and personality-related difficulties when they come up.

Cultural background and identity are part of how she frames a person’s experience. In sessions, Sophia uses straightforward techniques to help people find meaning, make values-based choices, and change unhelpful habits. She draws on cognitive and acceptance-based approaches as well as attachment-informed listening to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.

This often means setting small goals between meetings and checking what works. People who choose to work with her can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth style. Her focus is on practical steps and on helping people feel more agency in daily life.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Existential Therapy helps people reflect on meaning, choice, and life direction. It supports work around big questions like purpose, loss, and major transitions by helping clients name values and make decisions that feel authentic.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action toward valued goals. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with change by teaching practical exercises for staying present and committed to what matters.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in connecting with others. It can be useful for people struggling with intimacy, relationship conflicts, and trust issues by encouraging new, healthier ways of relating.

Finding the best mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and practice new skills between meetings.
