Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify manageable steps and build everyday skills for coping. Her style blends clear guidance with empathic listening. Clients can expect check-ins on progress and tools they can use between meetings.
She emphasizes small, measurable goals so progress is easier to notice. Adrianna uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused techniques. Those methods are used to address patterns of thinking, emotional reactions, and relationship dynamics.
She has experience supporting people through trauma and abuse, panic attacks, seasonal mood shifts, and issues around intimacy and communication. Adrianna draws on five years as an LMHC in New York to offer steady, practical support for everyday struggles. Her practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and are scheduled after completing a short matching questionnaire.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Adrianna commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered methods. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help when worry or avoidance gets in the way of living the life someone wants.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets the thinking and behavior patterns that fuel anxiety and low mood. It involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic or persistent worry. Client-centered work gives space for people to be heard and to steer the pace of change based on what feels right for them.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Adrianna works together with clients to pick methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text-based messaging helps people reflect between meetings. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use the format that best supports steady progress.
