About Sophia

Sophia Resciniti is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York with 15 years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and other life disruptions. Sophia aims to meet each person where they are and offers steady support during change.

Her approach starts with listening. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to fit a person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sophia emphasizes practical steps you can use between sessions to reduce overwhelm and build routines that feel manageable.

She brings a mix of therapies to the room, including acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment-focused work, and cognitive behavioral techniques. These methods are used to address mood concerns, compulsive patterns, relationship strain, and adjusting to major life transitions. Sophia also works with people facing aging and geriatric issues and end-of-life concerns, offering focused support as circumstances shift.

Over her career she has supported people dealing with addiction, ADHD, grief, compassion fatigue, and the aftermath of trauma. She talks through coping tools, emotion regulation, and next steps for practical problems like career strain or parenting stress. Sophia keeps sessions centered on what matters most to each person.

She provides care in English and Greek and practices in New York. Sophia encourages prospective clients to take the first step when they feel ready, and she helps map out a plan that fits individual goals and daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and decisions about life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior to find practical steps that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often used for panic, OCD, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy, relationship strain, and self-worth.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. That means approaches may be combined or adapted over time to suit how a person responds and what they want to accomplish.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the provided biography. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. It can also let people continue care when changes in health, work, or family life make in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals can discuss which approach and format will best match each person's needs and daily routine.
