About Adam
Adam Riffe helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictive behaviors, family conflict, anger, and low self-esteem. He is a licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT, practicing in Minnesota with 12 years of professional experience. Adam writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on practical steps that fit everyday life.
He treats problems like addiction and impulsivity by breaking concerns into clear, manageable goals. When family relationships cause strain he works with individuals to improve communication and set healthier boundaries.
How Adam works
He also supports people coping with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and attachment concerns. Adam uses common, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address guilt, shame, forgiveness, and problems tied to control or infidelity. He helps caregivers manage stress and aids those dealing with isolation or loneliness to reconnect with purpose.
Sessions aim to increase confidence and motivation through steady, achievable changes. Adam believes clients are the experts on their own stories. He offers guidance, feedback, and practical tools while centering each person's strengths.
His style is direct but compassionate, and he focuses on small changes that add up over time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and supports several online session formats for convenience.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches fit into online therapy
Adam draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. One approach emphasizes identifying triggers and developing concrete coping strategies to manage anxiety and cravings; this helps when stress or substance use feels overwhelming. Another approach centers on improving communication and boundary setting to reduce family conflict, repair relationships, and address issues like infidelity or repeated hurt.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adam collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. He checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what is helping and what is not.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversations. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing reflection and quick touchpoints between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and keep momentum between meetings.
