About Adriane
Adriane Villanueva is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and life changes. Adriane explains that clients bring strengths and stories that matter to the work.
Her approach keeps the client’s experience at the center of sessions. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect, and cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.
Adriane also draws on narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships and life events shape current feelings and reactions. That can help people understand recurring patterns such as impulsivity, control issues, or difficulties with attachment. She works with practical concerns too, like panic attacks, caregiver stress, money worries, and problems with communication.
Sessions focus on clear, usable skills alongside personal reflection. People can expect to talk through situations, practice different responses, and set small goals to try between appointments. Adriane emphasizes the client’s own expertise in their life while offering tools and perspective to handle intense emotions.
She accepts English-speaking clients and is open to working with international clients as well. To get started she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Adriane uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the person’s own perspective. This approach means the therapist listens closely and reflects back what matters most to the client, helping people clarify their goals and sense of choice.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT provides concrete exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and practice different reactions to stress, anxiety, panic, and anger.
Motivational interviewing is another tool she brings when clients feel unsure about change. It focuses on drawing out a person’s own reasons for wanting to change and strengthening the motivation to try new behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adriane will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to combine listening with practical strategies so sessions feel relevant and usable.
