About Adriana
Adriana Flores-Trespalacios offers a calm, straightforward space for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, or big life changes. She introduces clear steps and steady support so someone under pressure can talk through immediate problems and plan next steps. She brings 17 years of experience in mental health and holds a CA LPCC.
That background informs work with depression, trauma and abuse, and stress management. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to match client needs.
Background and approach
In session she focuses on practical skills and real-world changes. That can mean learning new ways to cope with intense feelings, practicing communication skills, or breaking big problems into manageable pieces. The aim is to help people feel more able to handle daily demands and relationships.
Adriana also addresses specific concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, aging and geriatric matters, chronic pain and illness, immigration-related stress, and grief from divorce or separation. She helps people unpack family of origin patterns and work through guilt, shame, or isolation. Therapy can be scheduled through a subscription model that is canceled at any time.
Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different routines and preferences.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Adriana uses evidence-based techniques that adapt well to remote formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete skills to practice between sessions. Trauma-focused approaches help people process distressing experiences at a pace that feels manageable, often combining grounding skills with guided processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try techniques collaboratively and adjust as needed. Clients help shape the plan so sessions fit their life and needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging is useful for ongoing reflection and brief updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not practical.
