About Adriana
Adriana Hernandez is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, and navigating life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make conversations straightforward and useful.
Adriana believes people know their own stories. She listens first, then helps identify practical next steps. Sessions often focus on small, doable changes that reduce overwhelm and build confidence.
She encourages clients to notice strengths they already have and use those in problem solving.
Background and approach
Her work draws on client-centered methods that keep the person’s goals central. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. Motivational interviewing techniques can help when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.
Adriana helps with relationship patterns like attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, and feelings of isolation. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, workplace strain, guilt, and life purpose questions. Her approach is practical and compassionate rather than rigid.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. Adriana aims to work collaboratively, helping each person set realistic goals and track progress. She frames therapy as a series of small steps toward clearer choices and greater emotional ease.
Approaches for online work with practical steps
Adriana commonly blends client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques during online sessions. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and in charge of their goals. It helps when someone needs a listening space to sort out values and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers concrete exercises to test new ways of thinking; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Adriana will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. That conversation guides whether to emphasize listening and exploration, skill-building with CBT, or motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging lets people fit sessions into busy lives. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on the go. Live chat or text messaging supports shorter check-ins, written reflections, or flexible updates between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to maintain alongside daily responsibilities.
