About Ajiroghene

Ajiroghene "Adrianna" Onwawoma is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who focuses on helping people navigate relationship struggles, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, career transitions, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She brings 16 years of clinical experience to her practice and works with a broad range of related concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD). Adrianna draws on a client-centered foundation while integrating evidence-informed methods to meet each person's needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the approaches she uses, alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other modalities tailored to clients' goals. She aims to create a warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental atmosphere to help people untangle difficult patterns, build skills for coping with change, and pursue greater wellbeing.

Practicing in South Carolina, Adrianna offers multiple session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.

Online approaches that combine skills and relational work

Many of the therapeutic tools used here focus on changing unhelpful patterns and strengthening meaningful relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, offering practical strategies to manage symptoms and make everyday changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify personal values and practice psychological flexibility so they can act in ways that matter to them even when difficult emotions are present. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence present-day interactions and can be helpful for people addressing abandonment, attachment wounds, and family-related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will work together with each client to determine which methods fit their concerns, goals, and preferences and may integrate techniques from several models to suit the situation. This partnership helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule care around work, caregiving, or geographic constraints. These formats support ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and consistent access to a licensed professional while accommodating different communication styles and needs.
