How Adrianna's Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and communication, and it helps people build more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adrianna will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. The plan can change as progress is made, and decisions about techniques are made together so they fit the client's life and pace.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into busy days. Video allows face-to-face discussion and skill demonstrations, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins and ongoing practice between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, or medical needs.
