About Adriana
Adriana Hernandez is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck after big life changes or who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and finding a sense of direction or life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Adriana's approach assumes people know important things about their own lives. She listens for strengths and patterns, and helps clients use those strengths to handle current problems. In practice this means clear conversations about what is happening now, realistic steps to try between sessions, and checking what helps or doesn't help as things change.
She draws on client-centered methods to keep the focus on each person's concerns, and uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Motivational interviewing guides conversations about readiness for change, while solution-focused ideas help set concrete short-term goals. These methods are practical and action-oriented rather than abstract.
Typical topics include managing workplace stress, navigating separation or divorce, dealing with caregiver strain, recovering from loss, addressing feelings of shame or guilt, and sorting through attachment or abandonment concerns. Adriana also supports people working on self-love and communication skills.
People who choose her often want straightforward feedback, small experiments to try between sessions, and a collaborative plan for next steps. To start, readers should confirm current session options and follow the booking steps provided on the site.
How Adriana Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online
Adriana commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered work focuses on the client's priorities and listening carefully to what matters most; it helps when someone needs space to sort feelings and decide next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, and offers concrete experiments to test new ways of coping with anxiety, stress, or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adriana will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits. This is a collaborative process that adjusts as progress or obstacles appear.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Many clients choose online sessions because they can fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, have shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera when that feels better. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and goal-setting to work in remote sessions so the work stays practical and focused on daily life.
