About Adriane

Adriane Villanueva is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and big life changes. She speaks plainly about problems and helps clients find clearer ways to cope. Adriane acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to make the first steps easier.

She centers the conversation on each person’s own story, using Narrative Therapy to look at how life events and meanings shape day-to-day struggles.

Background and approach

Adriane also uses client-centered methods to build a respectful space where people feel heard and understood. Her toolbox includes cognitive behavioral ideas for managing panic and mood spikes and motivational interviewing when someone needs help finding reasons to change. Adriane has six years of professional experience as an LPC in New Jersey.

She combines practical strategies with listening and reflection, so sessions move between noticing patterns and trying small experiments that can help right away. She explains techniques in simple language and works at a pace the person chooses. Common issues she addresses include attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.

She also helps with money and life-purpose questions when those concerns affect daily mood. Sessions are offered in English and Adriane welcomes international clients. She provides several online formats so people can pick what fits their routine.

How Adriane’s Approaches Work Online

Adriane draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their problems, which can shift how they feel about difficult events. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions a place where the person’s perspective guides the work and they feel heard and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, focuses on practical strategies to reduce panic, manage mood swings, and test new ways of coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Adriane treats it as a collaborative search. She will listen to goals, try approaches that seem to fit, and adjust methods if something isn’t helpful. The person and therapist decide together which ideas to keep and which to change as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their day. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can fit quick updates, homework check-ins, or times when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
