How Adriane works
Adriane uses plain language and keeps the pace steady so clients can build trust and momentum. Her approach blends different methods to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change thought patterns that feed anxiety or mood problems.
Client-Centered Therapy creates space for reflection and emotional processing. She also draws on Narrative and Psychodynamic ideas to untangle repeating patterns from past experiences. Adriane often helps people work through relationship hurt, attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, and the fallout of separation or divorce.
She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity, isolation, and questions about life purpose or money worries. Sessions are offered in English and available to international clients. Adriane offers several online formats so clients can pick what fits their life.
She aims for clear goals and steady progress over time.

How Adriane’s approaches work online
Adriane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. With CBT clients learn concrete skills to reduce anxiety, interrupt panic, and shift low mood. She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and empathy so clients can name feelings and choose their direction. This approach is useful when someone needs time to process grief, anger, or identity questions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Adriane starts by asking about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and therapist try methods, adjust the plan, and pick the tools that fit a person’s life and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is good for full conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Chat and messaging let people send updates between meetings or have brief check-ins when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and travel.
