Priscilla Barone, LMHC

Priscilla Barone is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings 16 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and midlife transitions. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at helping people find practical ways forward.

Priscilla uses a mix of approaches to meet each person's needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns formed in early relationships. She also uses client-centered methods that keep the person's goals in focus. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Her background includes work in community outpatient clinics and residential care for adolescents. That experience shaped her interest in trauma, dissociation, and anxiety disorders. Priscilla also has experience with creative arts approaches and has supported people dealing with addictions, eating and sleeping concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are meant to be collaborative and solution-focused. Priscilla helps people set clear goals, try practical tools, and track progress over time. She emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly about hard topics like abandonment, infidelity, or caregiving stress.

People seeking help with career stress, parenting challenges, ADHD-related difficulties, or changes linked to aging often find her work pragmatic and steady. She encourages small, achievable steps so people can regain a sense of control and purpose.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current behavior and emotional responses. In online sessions this can help people notice recurring reactions in close relationships and experiment with new ways of connecting. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience, using active listening and reflection to help people clarify what matters to them and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful habits and reduce anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean blending attachment ideas with CBT or using client-centered listening to guide which tools to try first.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the therapist's profile does not list specific options here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering flexibility when work or caregiving schedules change. Licensed professionals can tailor session pacing and homework to suit day-to-day routines so therapy stays practical and manageable.
