Her approach emphasizes collaboration and actionable strategies, helping people identify strengths, set achievable steps, and practice the skills that support sustained change. She is committed to guiding individuals toward meaningful recovery from substance or mental health struggles and encourages clients to take active steps toward a different life.

Therapeutic Approaches Applied to Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges by teaching skills to reframe thoughts and adopt healthier habits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines acceptance and change strategies to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially helpful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship difficulties.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people explore their motivations and resolve ambivalence about change. It is frequently used in work with substance use and other situations where finding personal motivation is central.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. Adrian works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what feels most effective and respectful of each person’s preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and additional support may be available through live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options helps people access licensed professionals from different locations and fit therapy into busy schedules while maintaining consistent contact with their therapist.
