How sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Adriana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and measurable progress. One approach emphasizes building concrete coping skills for anxiety and panic, teaching breathing and grounding practices alongside steps to manage worry and reduce avoidance. Another approach centers on trauma-informed methods that help process difficult memories while strengthening current functioning and self-regulation skills.Finding the best approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals. That means checking what helps, adjusting methods if something isn't working, and combining skills-based practice with occasional deeper processing when appropriate.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce commuting time, and allow brief check-ins when a shorter visit is useful. Telephone sessions can be a simpler option when video would be difficult, and video lets people use visual cues during conversations. Ask about the available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can choose what suits your routine.
