Priscilla Barone, LMHC

Priscilla Barone is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues with addiction. She also supports clients facing parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, and life transitions. Priscilla practices in New York and brings 16 years of experience to her work.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships and client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person’s needs.

In sessions she aims for a warm and respectful tone. Conversations move at the client’s pace and focus on concrete steps that fit daily life. She encourages small experiments between sessions to test what helps and what does not.

Priscilla’s background includes work in community outpatient clinics and residential settings for adolescents. That experience shaped her focus on trauma, dissociation, and anxiety disorders, and informs how she supports people through difficult changes.

People who come for counseling can expect clear goals and collaborative planning. She uses talk and creative techniques when helpful, and adapts methods to each person’s situation. The goal is steady progress toward better coping and more satisfying relationships.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Priscilla commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or problematic habits. Attachment-based methods look at patterns in close relationships and help people change how they connect and respond to others.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. She will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions include discussion, practical exercises, and small homework tasks so clients can try different strategies between meetings.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when face-to-face interaction helps communication; phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Messaging or chat can support brief check-ins, between-session coaching, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and help maintain continuity of care when life is unpredictable.
