About Adriana
Adriana Hernandez helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes find practical ways forward. She is a California licensed marriage and family therapist - LMFT - with 14 years of professional experience.
Background and approach
Her approach centers on listening and building from a person's strengths to make steady progress. She treats low mood, worry, and loss with clear, concrete steps that can be practiced between sessions.
Adriana uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice unhelpful thinking and try alternative responses. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in what matters to each person.
Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit for people who feel stuck or unsure about change. Solution-focused strategies help identify small, immediate shifts that make daily life easier.
Together these approaches aim to reduce overwhelm and increase confidence. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and can address issues such as self-esteem, attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, relationship communication problems, and workplace difficulties.
Adriana frames goals in plain language and checks in regularly so work stays relevant and doable. She encourages people to take the first step even when it feels hard.
In sessions she listens, reflects, and offers realistic options so clients can try new ways of coping and measuring progress over time.
Approach-driven online care that fits your life
Adriana commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered listening online. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify thinking patterns that increase worry or low mood and gives simple exercises to test new thoughts and behaviors. Client-centered work focuses on understanding what matters to each person and adapting the pace and goals to their needs.She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when helpful. Motivational interviewing supports people who feel uncertain about change and helps clarify personal reasons to move forward. Solution-focused methods zero in on small, practical steps that can be tried between sessions to create quick relief and momentum.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaborative process helps keep sessions relevant and makes it easier to try new ways of coping.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people fit therapy into busy schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging are good for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and practice skills between meetings.
