About Ajiroghene

Ajiroghene "Adrianna" Onwawoma is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 16 years of experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns along with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, stress, parenting, anger, and career issues. Her practice also addresses bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and navigating major life changes.

Adrianna takes a practical approach in sessions. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and actions. She also draws on acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and skills from dialectical behavior approaches when they fit the situation.

Sessions begin by clarifying what matters most to the person and what goals feel realistic. She works in a step-by-step way - identifying patterns, testing small behavior changes, and reviewing what helps. Conversations include concrete exercises and homework to try between meetings when that supports progress.

Adrianna has experience with a broad set of family dynamics and loss-related concerns, including blended family issues, abandonment and attachment problems, caregiver stress, and coping after disaster or serious illness. She also notes experience with first responder stress and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.

Her style centers on direct listening and practical strategies rather than abstract theory. People who want structured, skills-focused work and clear next steps often find this approach useful. To begin, follow the site’s process to match and schedule an initial appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

A few of the methods Adrianna uses are practical and goal-oriented. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving in relationships.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can help with grief, chronic stress, and situations where avoidance keeps problems going.

Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationships shape expectations and responses in current relationships. This perspective can help with communication problems, commitment and abandonment concerns, and blended family dynamics.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Adrianna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best fit their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with CBT skills, adding ACT exercises, or focusing on attachment patterns as needed.

The original biography did not list specific online formats. Confirm the available session options before booking so you know what to expect. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use structured worksheets, skills practice, and brief between-session tasks to keep progress moving even when schedules are tight.
