Adriana Hernandez

Adriana Hernandez is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Adriana speaks English and Spanish and aims to meet people where they are with straightforward support.

She approaches therapy from a client-centered stance, helping people notice their own strengths and use them to move forward. Sessions commonly include practical steps to manage anxiety, ways to rebuild confidence after loss, and strategies for getting through hard transitions. Adriana treats concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and workplace strain.

Her work also covers emotional topics like guilt, shame, forgiveness, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She supports people wrestling with divorce and separation, and those searching for life purpose and more self-love. Women's issues are part of her focus areas and are addressed sensitively during sessions.

Adriana uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods to help people test small changes and build momentum. She also uses motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to goals. The tone in sessions is collaborative and practical, with attention to what fits each person's life.

To begin, people are invited to reflect on what they want to change and bring that into the first conversations. Adriana emphasizes steady progress and clear next steps so clients can try new ways of coping between sessions.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Adriana uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy means the conversation follows what matters most to the person, with the therapist reflecting concerns and strengths so the client feels heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on practical ways to test thoughts and behaviors, helping with anxiety, low mood, and confidence by trying small changes and noticing results.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Adriana will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try together. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that matches what the client wants to accomplish.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that focus on specific goals. It also lets people use English or Spanish depending on their preference. The therapist and client can adjust pacing and homework to suit daily routines and practical constraints.
