About Adrianne

Adrianne Aguilera is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New Mexico who draws on 13 years of professional experience to support people facing a range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a collaborative relationship in which the client’s own knowledge and strengths guide the work, and she brings practical strategies to help address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and parenting concerns. Her background includes helping clients with issues related to intimacy, anger, addiction, and family dynamics.

Adrianne integrates evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered skills and trauma-focused tools to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. She frames therapy as a process of empowerment, assisting clients to identify values, build coping skills, and take concrete steps toward improved wellbeing.

Her approach is described as supportive and strengths-based, encouraging clients to use their existing resources while learning new ways to manage emotions and relationships. Available through multiple remote formats, Adrianne works with adults seeking practical, compassionate guidance for life transitions, behavioral change, and recovery from painful experiences.

She aims to create a respectful space where clients can pursue clearer goals and sustainable change.

Online Approaches That Fit Your Needs

Adrianne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathic listening and collaboration so clients can explore their values and build self-directed growth. When trauma is a focus, she may incorporate EMDR elements aimed at reducing the intensity of traumatic memories and their emotional charge.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Adrianne works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and symptoms, and together they decide which methods to prioritize and how to adapt them for remote work. The aim is to match techniques to the client’s needs rather than apply a single method indiscriminately.

Online therapy with her is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to maintain consistency, access care from home, and use therapeutic tools between sessions, supporting steady progress toward whatever changes the client wants to make.
