Background and approach
She encourages people to notice their strengths and use them as tools for change. Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. Adriane listens first and asks questions to understand what matters most.
She helps people set clear, practical goals and works with them on small steps that add up over time. She uses a mix of talk-based methods to match each person’s needs. Sometimes she helps clients look at unhelpful thinking patterns and try new ways of responding.
Other times she focuses on life stories and relationships to understand how past events shape choices today. Adriane also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, issues around control and attachment worries, and financial or work-related strain. She invites clients to take the pace they need and to explore solutions that fit their daily life.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room. It means the therapist follows your lead, reflects what you say, and builds on your strengths to help you move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-focused approach that helps people find motivation to make changes and resolve mixed feelings about taking steps forward.Finding the right method is part of the work. Adriane will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will suggest ways of working that suit the issue at hand. This choice is a collaborative process, and approaches can be combined or adjusted over time to match how progress is happening.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions and body language matter. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or do shorter, focused conversations during a busy day. These options help people keep continuity of care and fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
