Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy help people spot unhelpful thoughts and make values-based choices. Mindfulness practices and a client-centered stance guide gentle exploration rather than judgment. Her method is collaborative and straightforward.
Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on tools that can be used between meetings. Adrienne aims to tailor the pace and techniques to each person’s needs, whether the focus is on coping skills, improving communication, or healing from past hurt.
Adrienne holds LCSW licensure in multiple states and brings a long history of clinical work with adults facing complex life stressors. Her background includes helping people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family dynamics, domestic violence, and caregiving strain. She frames therapy as an ongoing journey of learning and growth.
Clients can expect a warm, plainspoken approach that honors personal values and practical goals. Adrienne encourages people to tap into inner strengths and to practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Online support
How attachment work and ACT translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people notice patterns in how they connect with others; it can be useful for intimacy problems, communication struggles, and healing from abandonment or attachment injuries. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches ways to make choices that match personal values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on attentive listening and respect for each person's experience, helping people find their own solutions through empathetic conversation.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Adrienne will collaborate with each person to try methods that fit their goals and comfort level. Together they decide what techniques to use, adjust the plan over time, and measure progress against concrete goals.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing to talk or who want ongoing brief support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
