About Adriana
Adriana Caughie is a licensed professional counselor who helps people through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. She writes and talks plainly in sessions, and aims to make therapy feel like a steady, understanding presence. Adriana believes change is possible and that people don’t have to face pain alone.
She began wanting to help others after a young friend lost a parent to cancer. That experience shaped her decision to become a counselor and stay committed to showing up for people in hard moments.
Background and approach
In practice she listens closely, offers honest reflection, and sometimes shares relatable experiences when it helps move a conversation forward. Adriana focuses on finding the roots of difficult emotions and behaviors. She helps people notice life patterns and then test new ways of thinking and acting.
Over time shifting thoughts and perspectives can lead to different feelings and healthier behaviors. Her work includes supporting people through grief and loss, trauma and abuse, relationship challenges, and low self-worth. She also assists with concerns tied to aging, caregiving, cancer, end-of-life issues, and codependency.
Sessions aim to build practical skills while honoring each person’s story. Clients can expect a warm, steady approach that mixes listening with concrete strategies. Adriana draws on several therapy styles to match what each person needs and encourages steady commitment to reach their goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Adriana often uses client-centered work to create a respectful, listening-focused space where people can tell their story and be heard. This approach is helpful when someone needs time to process grief, trauma, or life transitions and wants support that follows their pace.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is practical for tackling anxiety, low self-esteem, and recurring unhelpful thinking by testing new ideas and habits. Dialectical behavior therapy is another tool she draws on to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust over time as needs change. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats offer flexibility - video lets people keep face-to-face rhythms, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, short text check-ins fit busy schedules, and live chat supports real-time conversation without needing to be on camera. Together these options make it easier to fit sessions into daily life and to continue steady work toward goals.
