Priscilla Barone, LMHC

Priscilla Barone is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, career transitions, ADHD, and aging and geriatric issues. Her style is warm and straightforward, focused on helping clients make practical changes that fit daily life.

She uses a mix of therapies to meet each person where they are. Sessions center on building stronger attachments, understanding thoughts and behaviors, and using mindfulness to reduce reactivity. Priscilla draws on client-centered principles to keep the work grounded in each person’s goals. She also brings ideas from Jungian therapy when helpful for exploring personal meaning.

Priscilla has 16 years of clinical experience in outpatient and residential settings. That background includes work with trauma, dissociative and anxiety disorders, and adolescents in community health programs. Her clinical path also includes creative arts approaches that can be blended into talk therapy when useful.

In sessions she aims to create a friendly, accepting atmosphere where people can speak openly. The focus is on practical steps and motivation to reach personal goals. She encourages clients to try small changes between sessions and to notice what helps.

To begin, people typically complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. The initial meetings focus on identifying priorities and deciding which approaches will fit best.

How these approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online work using this approach looks at how you form connections now and practices new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear, practical exercises. In an online setting CBT often uses short homework tasks and structured check-ins to track progress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus, which can be guided in session and repeated between meetings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to weigh goals, personal style, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy fits real life.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continuity of care during life changes and let people practice skills in their usual daily routines.
