About Adriana
Adriana Caughie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, relationship problems, and low self-esteem. She aims to create a calm, steady presence in sessions and helps people make changes that fit their daily lives. Adriana believes showing up matters most.
She listens closely to each person’s story and looks for patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. When useful, she shares relatable moments to help clients feel understood and to normalize hard emotions.
Background and approach
In therapy she helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding. That can mean changing small daily habits or learning skills to reduce overwhelm. She frames work as practical and steady rather than rushed or flashy.
Adriana also focuses on grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. She helps clients untangle family-of-origin issues, codependency, communication breakdowns, and the guilt or shame that can follow loss or major life changes. Her goal is to help people find clearer direction and more self-compassion.
With 19 years of experience, she draws on several approaches to meet each person's needs. She encourages clients to do the sometimes hard work of change while offering steady support. Adriana aims to help people build a life with more peace, meaning, and connection.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs steady presence while they sort through hard feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical steps to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skill-building around emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication for people who feel overwhelmed by big emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. This collaborative process aims to match tools and pace to each person’s needs and preferences rather than applying a single method for everyone.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into short breaks. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, practice between sessions, or when writing helps people clarify thoughts. These options make attending sessions more flexible and easier to combine with everyday life.
