About Adriane
Adriane Villanueva is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports people coping with grief, anger, low self-esteem, and life changes. Her approach centers on listening first and building on each person’s strengths.
Adriane sees clients as the experts on their own lives. She uses that view to guide practical steps forward. Sessions focus on clear goals, steady pacing, and skills that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
She draws from a few different therapy styles to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors. Narrative Therapy gives space to reframe the stories people tell themselves.
Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the person's perspective and priorities. In sessions, Adriane aims for a calm, respectful tone. She talks through problems, teaches coping strategies, and supports decision-making.
Small changes and steady progress are typical goals rather than quick fixes. With six years of professional experience, Adriane has worked with a range of common concerns like panic attacks, mood shifts, isolation, and relationship communication problems. She welcomes people who are ready to take a first step and prefers a collaborative, strength-based process.
How Adriane uses different approaches online
Adriane often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy for online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, panic attacks, and mood problems. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation grounded in what matters to the person and helps shape goals from their perspective.She may also use Motivational Interviewing to support change when someone feels stuck. That method helps people identify their own reasons to change and builds small, achievable steps. Adriane will talk with each person about what approach feels right and adapt methods as goals evolve so the work stays collaborative.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer quick ways to touch base or maintain momentum between longer sessions. These options give flexibility for different routines and preferences while letting Adriane use the same practical, goal-focused methods.
