About Adrianne

Adrianne Aguilera is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico with 13 years of professional experience. She sees adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, trauma, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.

Adrianne frames clients as the expert on their own life. She looks for strengths people already have and uses those as a starting point. Conversations are direct and focused on what is getting in the way now and what can change next.

Her work draws on approaches that look at thoughts, behaviors, and past events together. That can mean learning ways to notice and shift thinking patterns that fuel anger or anxiety. It can also mean addressing painful memories that keep showing up in day-to-day life.

Sessions commonly include goal-setting, short-term skills practice, and check-ins about progress. She may use techniques that help people move through strong emotions and reduce repeated reactions. The aim is clearer choices rather than relying on instincts alone.

People reach out for help with communication problems, body-image struggles, grief around divorce or separation, and issues like infidelity or jealousy. Adrianne also works with matters that touch money, parenting, sexuality, eating concerns, and transitions such as pregnancy and childbirth.

She offers services in English from New Mexico. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to get started.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on what the person already knows about themselves. It helps people feel heard while deciding practical next steps for anger or relationship issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches clear skills to change those patterns. EMDR addresses troubling memories or events that continue to influence emotions and behavior, which can reduce repeated strong reactions when those memories are processed.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Adrianne will discuss goals, what has helped before, and preferences for how to work. She combines methods based on what a person needs rather than using one fixed technique for everyone.

Confirm session formats before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Many people appreciate online work because it can fit into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. If you want to try approaches that involve processing past events, Adrianne will explain what to expect and plan sessions that match your comfort and goals.
