Destiny Riccio, LCSW

Welcome! I'm glad you’re here! Seeking support takes courage, and if you’re reading this, you’ve already taken a meaningful first step. I work with adults navigating the often-overwhelming terrain of stress, life transitions, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, self-esteem challenges, and co-occurring substance use disorders. If you're feeling stuck, uncertain, or simply exhausted from trying to hold everything together, you're not alone, and healing is possible.

My approach is person-centered and compassionate; rooted in the belief that you are the expert on your life, even when things feel confusing or out of control. Together, we’ll create a space where you can speak freely and be fully seen without judgment. I value honesty, humor, and collaboration in the therapy room, and I’m not afraid to be direct when it serves your growth. We’ll get to the heart of things while also working on practical strategies to help you feel more grounded and empowered.

I draw from evidence-based practices like mindfulness-based approaches and solution-focused techniques, helping you manage symptoms, improve emotional regulation, and reconnect with your strengths. Whether you're facing a significant change, living with a complex diagnosis, or simply trying to find your way back to yourself — our work will be guided by your goals and paced according to your needs.

Above all, I believe therapy should feel like a safe and affirming space, one where you can be exactly as you are, and still be moving toward who you want to become. If this sounds like a fit, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your path to healing.
