    About Adrianne

    Adrianne Aguilera is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Mexico with 13 years of professional experience. She centers her work on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, and parenting challenges. She frames clients as the experts in their own stories and focuses on building strengths to support change.

    In the room she listens first and asks questions that help people clarify what matters most to them. She uses straightforward conversations to uncover goals and explore small steps forward. Her style balances gentle challenge with practical problem solving so progress feels achievable.

    Adrianne draws on several approaches to meet different needs. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal motivation for change and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also practices Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address trauma when appropriate.

    Her work often covers issues such as self-esteem, body image, addictions, intimacy-related struggles, grief from divorce and separation, and coping with guilt or shame. She also supports people dealing with eating and food-related concerns, anger, isolation, and financial stress.

    People who prefer clear collaboration and practical tools may find her approach helpful. She encourages small, steady steps and emphasizes client strengths when planning change.

  2. How her approaches translate to online work

    Adrianne uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change by asking open questions and reflecting what she hears. This method helps when someone feels stuck or unsure how to begin making changes. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.

    Client-Centered Therapy is a steady part of her practice too, which means sessions are guided by the person’s priorities and pace. She works collaboratively to choose approaches that fit each person’s goals and comfort level rather than assuming one method will suit everyone.

    Check the current session options before booking to confirm how she meets with clients. The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or family routines, reducing travel time, and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Some people find phone or video work lets them focus on conversation, while others prefer shorter check-ins when life is busy. Adrianne will help figure out what works best for scheduling and the goals you bring to therapy.
