About Adriana

Adriana Caughie is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues with self-esteem.

Background and approach

She draws on nearly two decades of practice to support clients in identifying patterns that keep them stuck and to develop practical ways to shift thoughts and behaviors toward healthier outcomes. Adriana emphasizes presence and genuine listening, aiming to create a space where clients feel heard and understood.

Her work blends client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral tools and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and existential approaches, helping clients explore the roots of their feelings while building skills for everyday life.

She often partners with people who are coping with major life transitions, caregiving and health-related stress, family of origin concerns, loneliness, and end-of-life issues such as hospice and bereavement. Adriana encourages vulnerability as a pathway to connection and growth, and she supports clients in breaking negative cycles so they can move toward greater self-compassion and purpose.

With a compassionate, straightforward style, she invites clients to engage in meaningful, sometimes challenging work that aims to increase resilience and foster more satisfying relationships and a clearer sense of direction.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Adriana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments that can change emotions and behavior. She also draws on client-centered therapy, focusing on empathetic listening and collaboration so the client feels supported while exploring their goals and values. These approaches are useful for managing anxiety, addressing grief, improving self-esteem, and working through relationship or trauma-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. She works with each person to decide which methods and strategies best match their needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting course as progress is made so treatment fits the individual rather than expecting one rigid model.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited mobility. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions and provide multiple ways to stay connected with a licensed professional according to what feels most comfortable for the client.
