Background and approach
Her background includes working with people facing cultural stress, social anxiety, isolation, and recovery from sexual assault or other abuse.

Adriana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a trauma-informed perspective to guide sessions. She works with clients to develop skills for emotion regulation, healthier interactions, and increased self-compassion. The focus is on realistic strategies that fit everyday life.
Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Adriana helps people who prefer bilingual care in English or Spanish. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule based on the matching process.
Approaches for anxiety and trauma online
Adriana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and healing. One approach emphasizes trauma-informed care, which means recognizing how past harm affects feelings and reactions and then working on ways to feel safer and more in control. This helps people recovering from abuse, sexual assault, or other traumatic events.Another common focus is on emotion regulation and practical coping skills. These techniques teach ways to reduce overwhelming anxiety, manage mood swings, and handle impulses through step-by-step practices people can use between sessions. That work is useful for stress, mood disorders, and social anxiety.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about symptoms, goals, and daily routines, and then try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. Clients and therapist adjust the plan together over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility for many schedules and situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send messages between sessions or use shorter, written check-ins when that fits better. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, school, and caregiving duties.
