About Adriane
Adriane Villanueva is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her approach is practical and focused on what people can do next.
Adriane works from the understanding that each person knows their life best. She listens to what matters to the client and highlights strengths they can use. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thought patterns and everyday habits that make problems harder to manage.
She uses clear, structured techniques to try different ways of responding to stress and anxiety. That can mean looking at thoughts and testing them, working through stories people tell about themselves, or focusing on motivation to make small changes. Adriane also draws on psychodynamic ideas when helpful to look at patterns from the past.
Practical skills are mixed with reflective conversation. Clients can expect to leave sessions with specific actions or experiments to try between meetings. Adriane frames those tasks as short steps people can fit into daily life.
Her work suits people who want straightforward, problem-focused sessions and a mix of talking and skill practice. Adriane offers sessions in English and accepts clients from outside the United States; confirm session options before booking.
How Adriane’s approaches translate to online work
Adriane frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on concrete exercises and short experiments to reduce anxiety and manage mood symptoms. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and helping clients describe what matters to them so goals become clearer and more realistic. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she draws on to help people find reasons to change and build small steps toward those changes. These approaches tend to be collaborative: Adriane will work with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals and what fits their daily life. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. It can also allow sessions across time zones for international clients who coordinate timing. Adriane will discuss which methods and session lengths best match your needs when you start the process.Areas of expertise
