About Adriana
Adriana Flores-Trespalacios is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in California. She focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, relationships, and coping with life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on 17 years of experience to guide people through difficult moments.
Adriana offers a calm, welcoming space where people can talk about what feels hard right now. She listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and helps clients try small, practical changes.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and aimed at skills people can use between meetings. Her background includes long experience in mental health work across community and clinical settings. That experience informs straightforward strategies for dealing with worry, overwhelming stress, and the aftereffects of trauma.
Adriana pays attention to how relationships and family background shape current struggles. She addresses issues such as abandonment worries, attachment concerns, guilt and shame, and isolation. Adriana also supports people facing life transitions like divorce, aging, immigration-related stress, and chronic illness.
The focus is on coping tools and clearer decision-making. Adriana offers sessions in English and Spanish and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Adriana uses well-established, evidence-based techniques to address anxiety, trauma, and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Solution-focused methods emphasize small, concrete steps and practical strategies to move forward when life feels stuck.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Adriana works with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and the difficulties they brought to therapy. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different life demands. Video calls let people see facial cues and build rapport, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges when that works better.
