About Adrianne
Adrianne Aguilera is a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of professional experience in New Mexico. She centers her practice on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Adrianne focuses on practical steps parents and individuals can take when life feels overwhelming.
She frames clients as the experts of their own stories and aims to support people as they make changes. Adrianne uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
She listens first, then offers tools that fit the situation. Sessions can include skill-building for anxiety and mood, problem-solving around relationships, and guidance for parenting challenges. Her work also addresses trauma, addictions, and intimacy-related issues.
For trauma, Adrianne may use methods that help process painful memories while keeping clients in control of the pace. She also helps people work through shame, body image concerns, and eating or food-related struggles. Adrianne draws on evidence-based approaches to support change.
She blends gentle challenge with practical strategies so people can practice new ways of coping between sessions. Progress is paced to what each person feels ready for. People can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space where goals are set together.
Adrianne aims to make the work clear and manageable, so families and individuals can move toward better daily functioning and more satisfying relationships.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, listening-first space where the person sets the pace and goals. It helps when someone needs acceptance and clarity before trying new coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which is helpful for anxiety, low mood, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest one or a mix of methods. Decisions are made together so the plan fits the client's needs and comfort level.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions remove the need for video. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or choose a lower-pressure way to communicate. These options give flexibility for different schedules and situations, and they make it simpler to keep consistent progress over time.
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.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
EMDR
A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
