About Sophia

Sophia Resciniti is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 15 years of professional experience offering practical, compassionate care. Her work centers on evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy to address stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood concerns, and addictions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes respectful, sensitive engagement and adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s particular needs. Her practice encompasses a broad range of challenges including relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and family difficulties, career and life-purpose questions, and complex conditions like bipolar disorder and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

Sophia also brings experience supporting those facing compassion fatigue, end-of-life and hospice concerns, dissociation, and the emotional aftermath of disaster or domestic violence. She communicates in English and Greek and draws on client-centered and attachment-informed perspectives to help people build clarity and practical coping skills.

Sophia frames therapy as a collaborative process that acknowledges the courage it takes to pursue change. She aims to empower clients to identify workable strategies and to move toward more satisfying, manageable daily life while honoring individual values and circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Online sessions with Sophia draw on practical, goal-oriented methods to help people manage difficult thoughts and emotions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) encourages noticing internal experience while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life. Attachment-based work explores relational patterns and how early bonds influence current connections, which can help when relationship or intimacy issues are a concern.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sophia will discuss clients' goals, preferences, and life circumstances to determine which methods are most useful, and she adjusts the plan as progress and needs evolve. This helps ensure therapy feels relevant and personalized rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional in New York while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
