About Ariana
Ariana Gordon is a New Jersey Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who face anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship struggles, and self-esteem problems. Ariana aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so families and individuals can notice real changes over time.
She believes the past often shapes present patterns. Ariana helps clients look at root causes while also learning new ways to respond.
How Ariana works
Conversations in sessions cover thoughts, emotions, communication styles, and how those things affect daily life. Her work blends supportive listening with tools that people can use right away. Clients learn to spot unhelpful thinking, try experiments to shift behavior, and set small goals that build momentum.
Ariana encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes. She pays attention to relationship patterns, attachment wounds, and issues that show up around boundaries and intimacy. Ariana also supports people dealing with grief, career stress, bipolar symptoms, ADHD-related struggles, and compassion fatigue from caregiving roles.
Sessions aim to be collaborative. Ariana helps people identify goals, test new approaches, and develop healthier coping skills. The focus is on practical steps that fit each person’s life and values.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Ariana uses client-centered therapy to make space for each person’s story and priorities, focusing on listening, empathy, and supporting what matters most to the client. This approach helps when someone needs validation and a clearer sense of personal goals.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. CBT provides concrete exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build different coping skills for anxiety, depression, or addictive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ariana will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation when schedules allow, phone sessions can be a good fit when video is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing notes between sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain momentum between appointments.
