Dr. Moscatiello approaches psychotherapy from an integrative perspective grounded in psychodynamic and relational theories. She also incorporates cognitive-behavioral approaches, including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based strategies. Her work combines practical tools for managing immediate concerns with opportunities for clients to develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and longstanding patterns that may be contributing to current difficulties.

Prior to becoming a clinical psychologist, Dr. Moscatiello worked as a professional singer and held positions with the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institution.
