How Adrienne’s Approaches Work Online

Adrienne combines client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to support people through stress, mood problems, and trauma. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and working at the client’s pace so they feel heard and understood. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and decide next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Adrienne uses CBT techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral experiments that can change how they feel over time. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Adrienne discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as needed. She aims to match practical tools to what the person wants to work on, whether that means gentle listening, skill-building, or both.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works better. It can also make it simpler to continue care during pregnancy, postpartum periods, or other life transitions when keeping regular visits helps maintain progress.
