About Adriane

Adriane Villanueva is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and big life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship and communication problems, caregiver strain, feelings of isolation, and money and financial issues. Adriane speaks English and has six years of clinical experience.

Her style centers on treating each person as the expert of their own story. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. She listens for strengths you already have, then helps you build on them to handle current challenges.

Adriane blends several approaches to match the needs in the room. She uses client-centered methods to follow your pace, cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, and motivational interviewing to strengthen your own reasons for change. She also draws on narrative and psychodynamic perspectives when exploring long-standing patterns and personal meaning.

In a typical appointment she focuses on clear goals and steps you can try between sessions. That may include simple behavior changes, new ways to talk to yourself, or experiments to test a different approach. The work is collaborative and paced to what you can manage.

To begin, you complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability. Adriane accepts international clients and tailors sessions to the concerns you bring, including financial stress, grief, panic, and mood shifts.

How Adriane uses therapy approaches online

Adriane commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening closely, following your pace, and helping you name what matters to you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors you repeat and tests small changes to see if they help with anxiety, panic, mood, or financial stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adriane treats picking methods as a team effort and will adjust plans based on your goals, needs, and what feels doable. You and she decide together which techniques to try and how fast to move.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options when you book. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time, and check in from a quieter place when needed. It can also allow shorter check-ins on a work day or let you do reflective exercises without leaving your routine. Adriane will help match the practical setup to your schedule and goals so therapy can fit into everyday life.
