About Adriana

Adriana Loo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through painful or confusing moments. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to build trust quickly so clients feel heard and understood.

She focuses on common concerns that affect everyday life such as stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, grief, and self-esteem. Her work also addresses trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, career challenges, depression, and LGBT matters.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and straightforward with an emphasis on real change. Adriana’s style is rooted in acceptance and unconditional positive regard. She believes most people already have strengths they can use, and therapy is a place to notice and expand those strengths.

Conversations in sessions are direct but compassionate, and she adapts methods to fit each person’s needs. She has experience with children and adolescents in addition to adults, and she has worked across cultural backgrounds and different levels of acculturation. Those experiences help her tailor work so it respects each person’s values and context.

Adriana uses a flexible, eclectic approach rather than a single method. She explains options, tries different techniques, and focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions. Her aim is to help clients find clarity and move forward.

To begin, she encourages a simple first step of sharing your story and current concerns so you can see if the approach feels right for you.

Evidence-based approaches for online family and parenting support

Adriana uses several evidence-informed techniques delivered in plain terms. One approach focuses on building trust and safety in sessions so people can talk openly; this creates a base for practical problem solving and emotional work. Another approach draws on practical skills training such as coping strategies, communication exercises, and behavioral steps to change patterns at home and in relationships. These techniques help with stress, parenting challenges, anxiety, and relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Adriana will listen to your goals and worries, explain a few options, and try methods that suit your needs. Together you’ll check what helps and adjust the plan as you go so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions work when video is not convenient, and live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins and coaching between sessions. These formats increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep momentum while working toward your goals.
