Background and approach

Adriana frames change as a collaborative process and encourages clients to draw on their values and strengths when facing difficult emotions or decisions. Adriana is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 14 years of clinical experience.

Her background includes helping clients address motivation, confidence, and issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, and workplace challenges. Fluent in English and Spanish, she combines client-centered principles with evidence-informed techniques to tailor sessions to each individual’s needs.

Adriana supports people through transitions like divorce or loss and helps those seeking greater self-love, purpose, and emotional balance.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Adriana commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and building practical skills to manage anxiety, stress, or mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore values, strengths, and personal goals without judgment.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all decision. She works with each person to assess needs and preferences and adapts methods over time so that tools and conversations fit evolving goals and circumstances. This teamwork helps ensure therapy remains relevant and focused on what the client hopes to change or strengthen.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or other commitments and allow clients to continue therapy during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver skill-building, emotional support, and problem-solving in ways that suit different communication styles and practical needs.
