How Adriana’s approaches work online
Adriana uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they tell about themselves and try new ways of describing their lives. This approach can help with issues like shame, isolation, and relationship patterns by making small, practical shifts in daily thinking.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when feelings are hard. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes because it emphasizes what matters most and teaches simple skills to stay present.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Adriana works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She will check in about what helps and adjust tools over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are helpful for a conversational session with visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief updates, ongoing coaching, or when messaging feels more comfortable than a call.
