She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self esteem, depression, or the effects of trauma. She aims to make the first step toward change feel achievable and understood.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Together these approaches support people who want more confidence and better ways to manage stress and mood challenges.
Adrienne has supported people dealing with life changes such as divorce and separation, parenting transitions like adoption and foster care, and pregnancy and childbirth stress. She also addresses issues related to substance use, workplace strain, and experiences of assault or domestic violence.
Sessions are conducted in English and are offered to residents of California. Adrienne describes her role as supportive and empowering, working with each person to set goals and build skills that fit their life.
How Adrienne’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It prioritizes the client's goals and encourages self-directed growth by creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space. This approach can help people feel heard and more confident in making changes.
Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to change behavior. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low self esteem, and mood difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adrienne will collaborate with each client to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adapting sessions as progress is made and checking in about what feels most helpful.
Because the therapist's session formats are not specified here, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or let someone choose a meeting type that does not need video. Licensed professionals can use these options to help maintain regular momentum toward goals without asking for major schedule changes.
