Adriana Flores-Trespalacios , LPCC

Adriana Flores-Trespalacios offers calm, direct support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, or major life changes. She provides a reassuring presence and practical steps so clients can feel steadier and make clearer choices. Adriana uses plain language and focused conversation to help people understand what they are facing and decide what to try next.

With 17 years in mental health practice, Adriana has worked with many concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. She also helps people manage attachment and abandonment worries, isolation and loneliness, and the emotional effects of immigration and family of origin problems. Her background includes addressing chronic pain, aging issues, and the strain that comes with divorce or separation.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish for people based in California. Adriana holds a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor credential - LPCC - in California. She uses methods that are evidence based and adapts them to each person's situation rather than relying on one fixed approach.

In a typical session she focuses on current problems, patterns that keep them going, and small, doable steps to try between meetings. Conversations include practical coping tools for anxiety and stress, ways to improve communication, and strategies to manage strong emotions related to trauma or loss.

Adriana offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Adriana draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on symptom relief and building skills. One commonly used approach emphasizes changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression; it helps people test new ways of coping and notice what works. Another approach she uses concentrates on processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity so daily life becomes easier to manage. These methods are practical and aimed at clear, manageable goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Adriana will discuss options and tailor methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on coping skills, trauma processing, communication work, or a mix of techniques.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, reminders, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
