About Ariana
Ariana Gordon is a New Jersey Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people who are wrestling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, addiction, and self-esteem concerns. Her approach begins by listening carefully and learning each person’s story before suggesting ways to move forward.
Ariana believes that knowing where problems come from helps people make changes. She asks questions about past experiences, communication habits, and patterns of thinking.
Background and approach
That information shapes practical steps a person can try between sessions. Sessions focus on skills people can use right away. Ariana draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts.
She also uses client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person’s values and pace. For people facing big life shifts or complicated feelings, Ariana brings an exploratory, solution-focused stance. She helps set short-term goals and breaks problems into manageable pieces.
Motivational interviewing is used when change feels difficult or motivation is unclear. Ariana offers conversation that is straightforward and compassionate. She helps people clarify what matters, build coping skills, and try new ways of handling stress and relationships.
Sessions are offered in English and provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Approaches that translate to online care
Ariana uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on small experiments clients can try between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses a client-centered approach that emphasizes listening and collaboration. That style gives people space to set goals that match their values and life circumstances, which can be especially helpful when processing grief, identity questions, or relationship concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ariana discusses options with each person and tailors methods based on their goals, comfort, and how they respond. The plan can shift as progress is made so the therapy stays useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for longer conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support short check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or ongoing reminders between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
