Background and approach
Sessions are calm and focused, with a mix of listening and practical skills work. Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting concerns, and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses body image, eating and food-related issues, divorce and separation, and money and financial stress.
Adrianne draws on experience with social anxiety, relationship conflict, and feelings of isolation. Adrianne uses several approaches depending on the need. She draws from client-centered methods to build a trusting relationship, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, EMDR for trauma-related symptoms, and motivational interviewing to support change.
Together these tools help her tailor sessions to each person. People who prefer clear goals and an empathetic listener tend to do well with her. She offers appointments online by video, phone, chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.
How approaches and online sessions fit together
Adrianne uses client-centered work to place the person's goals at the center of each session. This approach means she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients identify what matters most to them and how to move toward it.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and many relationship patterns because it gives concrete tools to try between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Adrianne will talk with each person about their needs, preferences, and goals and then recommend a plan together. She adjusts the approach over time based on what is working and what is not.
Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues similar to an in-person visit, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing reminders between longer sessions. These options help people keep momentum and practical progress without long commutes.
