Background and approach
Her background includes 16 years in the field as a California LCSW. That experience has included helping people manage career shifts, rebuild self-esteem, and process difficult events. She pays attention to how guilt, shame, or questions about life purpose show up in everyday choices.
Adriene uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address post-traumatic stress and ongoing worry. She also supports people learning to practice self-love and better coping skills. Conversations can include practical tools and steps to try between sessions.
People who prefer straightforward guidance and a respectful, steady presence often find her approach helpful. She encourages gradual progress and works with each person to set realistic goals. The goal is clearer thinking and more helpful habits over time.
Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Adriene commonly draws on trauma-informed methods that help people process difficult events and reduce post-traumatic stress symptoms. These approaches focus on stabilizing reactions, learning helpful grounding skills, and slowly working through painful memories in ways chosen by the individual.She also uses anxiety-focused techniques that teach practical skills for managing worry and stress. These methods break problems into small steps, introduce breathing and attention practices, and test new ways of coping in everyday situations.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Adriene will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they shape a plan and adjust techniques as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, phone can be easier when less screen time is needed, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule regular contact and keep therapy practical for a busy life.
