About Ariana
Ariana Vigo-Gilormini is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She has eight years of professional experience helping people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, and depression. Ariana writes simply and directly to people taking the first steps toward support.
She focuses on clear coping strategies that people can use between sessions. Ariana talks through day-to-day stress and anxiety, and she helps clients notice patterns that keep mood and behavior stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while still allowing space to name hard feelings like guilt, shame, and loneliness. Her work addresses both persistent low mood and more specific problems such as social anxiety and phobia. For addictions she helps people identify triggers, build new routines, and manage cravings in real situations.
She also supports people who feel isolated and want to reconnect with others. Ariana tailors sessions to each person’s needs and pace. She pays attention to how symptoms show up in daily life and focuses on changes that fit into regular routines.
People leave with simple tools they can try right away. If someone is new to therapy, Ariana offers a straightforward path to get started. She explains options, answers common questions, and helps set realistic first steps.
That practical approach can make beginning therapy feel less overwhelming.
Approaches and what online therapy offers
Ariana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and behavior change. One common approach involves learning concrete coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress in daily life, such as breathing routines, activity planning, and stepwise exposure to feared situations. Another element centers on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then trying small experiments to test alternatives; this helps with mood disorders and social anxiety by making change gradual and measurable.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ariana collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts pacing and tools based on what a person notices is helpful during sessions and between appointments.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow fuller interaction for exercises and discussion. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing, want ongoing brief support, or need to fit therapy into small pockets of time. These options help make consistent care more accessible for varied lifestyles and routines.
