Background and approach
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to small changes that add up over time.

These issues are addressed through clear planning and regular check-ins. Her practice includes help for people facing grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, sleeping difficulties, anger, and problems related to adoption or foster care. Adriana works with people who want to build motivation, confidence, and healthier patterns in relationships and daily life.
Clients can expect a collaborative tone in sessions. Adriana offers encouragement and practical tools while helping people try new ways of coping. She supports small experiments between sessions to test what works in real life.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Evidence-based techniques often used in Adriana's work include goal-focused problem solving and strengths-based work. Goal-focused problem solving breaks concerns into small, manageable steps and helps people try practical changes; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and daily routines. Strengths-based work spotlights a person's existing skills and resources and builds on those to increase confidence and motivation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. Adriana adjusts the plan as progress is made and invites feedback about what is helping or what needs to change.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you work face-to-face when you want a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to get support between sessions and fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options give flexibility to match therapy to your daily life.
