How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy centers conversations on what matters most to the client and helps build a trusting therapeutic relationship. It’s useful for people who want to be heard and guided at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person’s own reasons for change and can be helpful when motivation feels stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Adriane will listen to the client’s goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Clients and therapist can adjust the plan over time based on what is helping and what feels manageable.
Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how you will meet. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people continue care if they move or travel internationally. The therapist will discuss practical scheduling and what to expect during the first appointments.
