Evidence-based approaches and online care
Adriana draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. One common approach she uses involves trauma-informed strategies that help people process painful memories while learning skills to reduce distress. This work can support recovery from sexual assault, abuse, or post-traumatic stress. Another approach focuses on skill-building for emotion regulation and everyday coping. These techniques teach tools for reducing anxiety, managing mood swings, and handling impulsive reactions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Adriana will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and life situation. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust strategies as progress is made. The process is flexible and tailored to individual needs and preferences.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and quick access when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working toward meaningful change.
