About Adriana
Adriana Escamilla is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 23 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She works in English and Spanish and supports clients dealing with trauma, family problems, self-esteem issues, ADHD, and related concerns. Adriana aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried and unsure where to begin.
She frames sessions around a client's own strengths and story.
Background and approach
Adriana treats each person as the expert on their life and helps them use what already works. Conversations are straightforward and focused on practical change rather than long explanations. Adriana has guided people through panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and the aftermath of abuse.
She also helps with body image, codependency, communication problems, and midlife or life-purpose questions. Her background includes long experience in California settings with diverse clients. In session she emphasizes clear goals and small steps.
That can mean learning ways to reduce acute anxiety, practicing skills to improve concentration, or working on healthier boundaries. Sessions can move at a pace that feels right for the person. Adriana offers support that aims to empower and increase confidence.
She helps people notice their progress and build on it. For many, that means less overwhelm and clearer next steps toward a more satisfying daily life.
Approaches that help with anxiety and recovery
Adriana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and healing. One approach helps people learn to notice and manage anxious thoughts and bodily panic reactions through step-by-step coping exercises and short practice tasks. Another approach centers on processing trauma in a paced way so that memories cause less daily distress and people can regain a sense of safety and routine.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Adriana collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, comfort level, and current needs. She adjusts tools and pacing as progress and challenges arise.
Online therapy offers flexibility for those balancing work, family, or health needs. Video calls let a therapist and client work face to face when helpful. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or times when writing is easier than speaking. These options make consistent care easier to fit into a busy life.
