About Adriana
Adriana Hernandez is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, and life changes. She speaks English and Spanish.
Adriana approaches therapy from the view that each person knows their story best. She focuses on what clients bring to sessions and helps them build on existing strengths. In practice she uses clear, person-centered conversation to sort out immediate concerns and next steps.
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to try different ways of responding. Solution-Focused techniques are used to set small, practical goals and notice progress between sessions. Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about change.
In sessions she talks through concrete problems like relationship communication, workplace stress, and parenting or caregiver strain. She will also address issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, control struggles, guilt and shame, and forgiveness when those come up.
Adriana aims to help clients make decisions that fit their daily life and values. She encourages short-term steps that can lead to clearer thinking and better coping. To begin she asks people to describe what they want to change and what has helped them so far.
Approaches and how online sessions work
Adriana frequently combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can clarify their own priorities and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of responding.She treats the choice of approach as a shared process. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the client’s goals, preferences, and current situation. This means trying an approach, reviewing how it feels, and adjusting as needed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which options are offered. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life because they can schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or work around a work or caregiving day. Online work can make it easier to focus on communication skills, manage anxiety in real time, or practice CBT exercises between meetings.
