How her approaches work in online sessions
Ajiroghene "Adrianna" Onwawoma uses several practical therapies that translate well to conversation-based work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments or new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult feelings without fighting them, clarify what matters most, and take steps toward those values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and trust from early relationships and helps people build more secure ways of connecting in current relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adrianna partners with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. She may combine elements from different methods so the plan fits the problem and the person.
