About Adriana
Adriana Hernandez is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, and the practical challenges of life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. She works with individual adults who want concrete tools and clearer next steps.
Her approach is straightforward and focused on problem-solving. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. She also draws on client-centered techniques to listen and reflect what matters most to each person.
Adriana blends motivational interviewing and solution-focused work when momentum or decision-making is the main goal. That means short-term, goal-oriented conversations that map small, achievable steps. She helps people break bigger problems into manageable actions they can try between sessions.
Clients can expect practical exercises, gentle challenges to unhelpful thinking, and regular check-ins on what is working. Adriana emphasizes building skills for everyday life - coping strategies, communication practices, and ways to reduce overwhelm. She explains techniques plainly and checks that they fit the person’s routine.
Her background includes over a decade of clinical work in California. That experience informs a pragmatic style that centers the client's priorities. To begin, prospective clients choose a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment that clarifies goals and next steps.
CBT and practical approaches for online sessions
Adriana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize and test thoughts that keep them stuck. CBT sessions focus on concrete experiments and behavioral changes that can be practiced between meetings, useful for anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem.She also uses client-centered methods to listen closely and reflect what matters most to the person. That approach helps clarify goals and priorities before moving into skills work. Motivational interviewing is brought in when the main task is building motivation or resolving ambivalence about change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Adriana collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks progress regularly and adjusts plans so sessions stay focused and practical.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in their everyday settings. Talk with Adriana in the first meeting about how to structure sessions to fit your life and goals.
