Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like

Adriane often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's experience at the center and uses empathic listening to help the client find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Adriane will discuss goals, preferences, and how different methods might fit your situation. Together you can try approaches and adjust them as needed so the work feels useful and realistic.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options when booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten check-ins when schedules demand, and remove travel time so therapy can occur from wherever you are. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping continuity during life transitions and for working steadily on skills between appointments.
