Adriana Hernandez is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or stuck after loss or life changes. She focuses on building self-esteem and confidence so clients can take clearer steps forward. Adriana speaks English and Spanish and works from California.
With 14 years of professional experience, Adriana centers the conversation on each person's strengths and choices. She uses clear, practical techniques that match what the client needs that day. Sessions are framed around goals such as reducing anxiety, coping with grief, improving communication, or finding direction after a breakup or career change.
Her approach treats the client as the expert on their own life. Adriana listens for what’s working and what gets in the way, then helps people test small changes. She draws on client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in the client’s priorities and on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Motivational interviewing is used when people feel stuck and want help finding reasons to change. Solution-focused tools help sharpen immediate steps so progress feels visible and manageable. Across this work Adriana pays attention to issues like attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and workplace strain.

How Adriana’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, helping people clarify what matters most and build on their strengths. Online sessions can keep that same focus by using conversation and reflection to set personal goals and test small changes.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers concrete exercises to try new approaches. In remote sessions this often means discussing patterns, practicing strategies in between meetings, and reviewing what worked.
Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will ask about your needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and circumstances change.
Please confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people join sessions from a quieter spot, manage bandwidth by using audio if needed, and schedule around work or caregiving obligations.
