About Ariana

Ariana Gordon is a New Jersey Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship worries, addictions, and other life challenges. Her approach centers on helping people understand how past experiences shape their reactions today.

She uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns and practical steps clients can try between sessions. Clients can expect a calm and focused style. Ariana listens first to learn what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

She then guides conversations toward clearer thinking and small behavior changes that ease daily struggles. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort. She draws from several therapy methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused techniques.

Those tools help with mood shifts, coping skills, and changing unhelpful habits. Motivational interviewing and existential ideas inform deeper conversations about purpose and values. Ariana also addresses family and parenting related concerns as part of her wider practice.

She helps people talk through communication problems, boundary setting, and family-of-origin issues. Practical skill-building is a frequent part of her work. Her practice offers multiple session formats to fit different schedules.

Sessions are conducted in English for people located in New Jersey. Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for both client and therapist.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Ariana often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions. This approach is useful when someone needs space to tell their story and figure out what matters to them. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ariana will discuss goals, preferences, and the problems you bring and help choose or combine methods that fit. The plan can change as progress is made so the work stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. These options let people connect from home, manage short scheduling windows, or use messaging for ongoing check-ins. The variety gives flexibility while keeping the focus on making steady, practical progress.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
