About Priscilla
Priscilla Barone is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and grief. She works with concerns like addictions, intimacy issues, parenting stress, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and career transitions. Her approach aims to make therapy feel straightforward and practical for busy lives.
She emphasizes a warm, accepting tone in sessions so people can speak honestly about hard topics.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on understanding attachment patterns, noticing thought habits, and trying small behavior changes that make daily life easier. Mindfulness and client-centered listening are woven into the work to keep things grounded and present-focused. Priscilla draws on 16 years of clinical experience in outpatient and residential settings, including work with trauma, dissociation, and mood disorders.
That background informs how she assesses safety and helps people build coping tools they can use between sessions. She also brings interest in creative approaches to help people express feelings that are hard to say in words. Her style balances practical skills and deeper exploration.
Some people come for short-term coaching on a specific problem. Others use therapy to understand long-standing patterns and heal from past wounds. She meets clients where they are and adjusts pace according to each person's needs.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through a mix of video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Priscilla’s LMHC credential is held in New York and informs her clinical practice there.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and how early relationships shape current bonds; online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to notice those patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and following the client's lead, helping people feel heard and understood during video or phone meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear, actionable exercises that can be practiced between online sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean blending attachment insight, client-centered listening, and CBT tools until a helpful mix is found.
Online formats offer flexible ways to keep therapy going. Video calls approximate in-person conversation and allow visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, homework review, and ongoing support between scheduled talks. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical, usable strategies.
