About Adrianne
Adrianne Aguilera is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico with 13 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also addresses issues such as body image, eating and food-related concerns, intimacy questions, and addiction-related problems.
Adrianne starts from the idea that clients know their own stories best. She listens for strengths in each person and builds on those strengths during sessions. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than abstract labels.
Her approach blends client-centered conversation with skills-based techniques. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is part of how she supports people working through change and ambivalence.
For clients with trauma, she incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address disturbing memories and their effects. Sessions explore how past events link to current reactions, including anger and relationship strains.
Adrianne aims to help people reduce simmering resentment, manage snapping at loved ones, and handle workplace frustration in steadier ways. She guides straightforward, goal-focused conversations and helps set realistic, measurable steps forward. To begin, people choose an online matching option and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How Adrianne applies therapy approaches online
Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client. It helps people clarify goals and notice their existing strengths so practical steps feel doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and action plans. It is useful for anxiety, anger that shows up at work or home, and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses disturbing memories and the reactions that follow, which can ease trauma-related triggers and intense emotional responses.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Adrianne collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She helps test what works, adjusts the plan, and keeps the focus on clear, achievable changes rather than one fixed method.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and remove travel time. They can also allow for shorter check-ins, audio-only conversations when bandwidth is limited, or longer sessions when deeper processing is needed. Talk with Adrianne through the matching and scheduling steps to confirm the session style that best fits practical needs and goals.
