How Adriana’s Approaches Shape Online Therapy

Client-centered work focuses on listening and helping the client lead the conversation. It emphasizes empathy, respect, and using a person’s own strengths to guide change. This approach is useful for people who want supportive, nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and priorities.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. In sessions clients learn to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety or improve mood. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem because it offers concrete tools to practice between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Adriana will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She blends techniques as needed and adjusts the plan based on progress and feedback, so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online formats let people fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and body language matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing problem-solving possible between longer appointments. These options give flexibility in how often and how people connect with a licensed professional.
