About Ajiroghene
Ajiroghene "Adrianna" Onwawoma is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship stress. She draws on 16 years of experience to guide clients through hard moments and life changes. Her style is warm and straightforward, focused on practical steps that fit each person's life.
Adrianna uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs. She often draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build daily habits, and attachment-based work to improve relationship patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be conversational and goal-oriented. Clients talk about what matters now and practice skills between meetings. She places value on honest, non-judgmental conversation.
The counselor listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try new ways of coping. Goals might include reducing anxiety, improving communication, managing mood swings, or making day-to-day life feel more manageable. Adrianna also works with people dealing with caregiver strain, first responder stress, blended family difficulties, and challenges tied to serious illness.
She tailors tools to each situation and checks in often to make sure the plan is working. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online in several formats. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.
Online approaches that fit your life
Adrianna commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small actions that match their values to reduce avoidance and build meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to your goals and day-to-day challenges and then recommends methods to try together. Plans are adjusted based on what helps most, and clients practice skills between sessions so progress continues outside appointments.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for an in-depth weekly session and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, worksheets, or skill reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
