About Adrianne
Adrianne Foreman is a Licensed Certified Social Worker in Maryland with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on grief and coping with life changes, and works with people facing caregiver stress, aging concerns, cancer, hospice and end-of-life matters, isolation, and feelings of guilt and shame.
She works directly with older adults and those navigating later-life transitions. Sessions are practical and straightforward. Conversations often center on what feels unfinished, what weighs most, and small steps that feel possible right now.
Adrianne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people map out their emotions and reactions. She talks through how grief shows up, how guilt and shame affect behavior, and how to manage chronic stress from caregiving or illness. The focus is on clarity and manageable change rather than long explanations.
Her style is calm and steady, with attention to the realities of aging and medical concerns. She pays attention to the emotional impact of illness, loss, and role changes. People often work on practical coping strategies, communication around needs, and ways to reconnect to meaning amid loss.
Sessions include time to name difficult feelings and to plan concrete next steps. Adrianne supports people who want to address forgiveness, loneliness, or the emotional burden of caring for someone else. She encourages realistic goals that fit a person's daily life.
How evidence-based techniques guide online sessions
Adrianne draws on evidence-based therapeutic approaches that focus on emotions and practical coping. For grief work she uses task-oriented methods that help people recognize what they have lost, organize difficult feelings, and identify manageable next steps. These methods are aimed at helping someone carry forward while honoring what has changed.For issues like guilt and shame she uses approaches that help separate self-critical thoughts from actions. This can involve noticing triggers, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing new responses in everyday situations. These techniques are useful when guilt or shame interfere with relationships or daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adrianne will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will choose methods together rather than prescribing a single path. The collaboration helps shape what sessions focus on week to week.
