Background and approach
That background shaped her focus on straightforward tools people can use day to day. Adenia uses methods that teach skills and build perspective. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and action.
She also uses client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on each person’s goals. In a typical session she helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills, and try small changes between meetings. She often addresses parenting stress, burnout and compassion fatigue, self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, and workplace strain.
She also supports people facing pregnancy and childbirth concerns, money stress, and feelings of isolation. Conversations are practical and grounded. Adenia works with each person to make a plan that fits their life and rhythm.
If someone prefers Spanish, she can conduct sessions in that language. Her practice accepts international clients and offers flexible online formats.
Therapy approaches you can use online
Adenia often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing painful thoughts without getting stuck and then choosing actions that match a person’s goals.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. CBT breaks those patterns into manageable parts and teaches simple skills for shifting thoughts and behaviors.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Adenia works with each person to pick methods that match their needs, priorities, and comfort level. Sessions begin with practical goal-setting and then adapt over time as progress and preferences emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skill practice, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or the client prefers not to use a camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people make care more flexible and easier to fit into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
