About Adriane
Adriane Villanueva is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Adriane also focuses on issues such as attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, and questions about life purpose.
She works from a belief that each person knows their story best. Sessions are conversational and practical. Adriane listens for strengths and patterns, then uses those observations to suggest different ways of responding to difficult feelings and situations.
Her approach draws on several therapy methods. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the client's experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and suggests experiments to test new ways of thinking. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to clarify goals and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe stories that keep them stuck.
Adriane has spent time helping people cope with grief, panic attacks, mood difficulties, and relationship strains like divorce and family conflict. She supports people facing guilt, shame, impulsivity, loneliness, and financial stress related to life changes.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
