About Ajiroghene

Ajiroghene "Adrianna" Onwawoma is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with parents and families facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress. Adrianna offers direct, practical support when life feels overwhelming and helps clients find steady steps forward.

She uses a blend of therapy styles rather than a single method. Sessions focus on clear goals and hands-on skills for coping, communicating, and managing difficult emotions.

Background and approach

Parents can expect straightforward guidance about family dynamics and concrete strategies to try at home. Adrianna trained for her master’s degree in counseling and is licensed in South Carolina as an LPC. Her background includes long-term work with people affected by trauma, loss, mood disorders, and complex family situations.

This experience informs how she frames problems and practical next steps. In the room she keeps the tone warm and nonjudgmental. She helps people name what matters most, set small goals, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Her approach balances listening with clear tools clients can use right away. Parents and caregivers often come for help with blended family issues, caregiver stress, attachment or abandonment concerns, and communication problems. Adrianna centers each plan on the family’s daily life and routines to make change feel possible and realistic.

Therapeutic approaches and what they offer online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) asks people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters most and on small actions people can take toward those values, which is helpful for anxiety, stress, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often useful for depression, anxiety, and problems with mood or behavior.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. She will work with each client to choose approaches that match goals and daily life needs, adjusting methods as progress is made. Clients are invited to share preferences and try techniques to see what helps.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families and caregivers. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, while phone, live chat, or text-based messaging can fit quick check-ins or when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to practice new skills between sessions and to bring family routines into the work being done with a licensed professional.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
