How Adrianne’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and following the person's lead. It helps people feel understood and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, anger, and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a method used to process painful memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Adrianne works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will discuss options, try techniques collaboratively, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue momentum between in-person visits by keeping appointments consistent. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so progress can continue across settings.
