How Adriene’s Approaches Work Online

Adriene uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and healing. One common approach centers on teaching emotion regulation and coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress. This involves learning specific tools to calm the body and reframe anxious thoughts so daily life feels more manageable.

Another approach addresses trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping people process difficult memories and reduce their emotional hold. Work here is paced to each person’s tolerance and focuses on lowering the intensity of traumatic reactions and improving day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and what feels most useful. Together they try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps in real life.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video calls let people see and hear their therapist when a full conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera helps with focus. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or ongoing contact between sessions without needing a full appointment.
