About Adriana
Adriana Escamilla helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, and issues with self-esteem and focus. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and she brings more than 23 years of clinical experience to her work.
Background and approach
Adriana keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens to each person's story and helps them notice strengths they already have.
She focuses on small, usable steps clients can try between sessions to build confidence and clearer thinking. Her approach centers on collaboration.
Adriana asks questions, reflects what she hears, and works with people to set realistic goals. She respects cultural background and life experience when talking about identity and relationships.
Common topics in her practice include anxiety and panic, trauma and post-traumatic stress, postpartum challenges, attention and concentration struggles, and family problems. She also supports people working on body image, codependency, communication problems, and finding life purpose.
Adriana offers services in English and Spanish and practices in California. She aims to create a calm, focused space where clients can try new ways of handling difficult moments and build stronger self-trust.
How evidence-based techniques work online
Adriana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people manage anxiety and panic by teaching step-by-step breathing, grounding, and thought-challenging strategies to reduce intense symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach addresses trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping people process difficult memories at a pace that feels manageable, and by building coping skills to reduce overwhelm.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Adriana will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods as needed so the therapy fits the client’s needs and preferences. She emphasizes clear communication and regular check-ins to make sure the approach is helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for people balancing work, family, or busy schedules.
