About Sophia
Sophia Resciniti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 15 years of practice. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anger, and mood conditions including bipolar and depression.
Her sessions focus on clear, practical conversation. She listens to what is happening day to day, then helps people notice patterns that escalate frustration and overwhelm. Sophia uses evidence-informed methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to build steadier coping skills.
Sophia draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address difficult feelings and recurring reactions. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to look at how relationships and past experiences shape current responses.
In typical work with clients she breaks issues into manageable steps. That can mean learning short exercises to interrupt a flare of anger, practicing different responses in a relationship, or developing a routine to manage anxiety and low mood. She explains techniques in plain language and checks in about how they fit into daily life.
Sessions are conducted in English and Greek. She practices in New York and has substantial experience with trauma, grief, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and stress tied to work and life transitions. To begin, people are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) highlights the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers clear skills to change patterns that fuel stress and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and close relationships shape current responses and can be helpful when relationship dynamics or past losses keep triggering strong reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Sophia works collaboratively to identify what fits a person's needs and goals. She discusses options and adapts methods based on how a client responds and what feels most practical in everyday life.
Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and avoid travel when needed. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively without changing the core focus of skills practice and problem-solving.
