About Adriana

Adriana Cavazos is a Texas-based licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of clinical experience guiding people through difficult emotional transitions.

Background and approach

She centers her practice on work with depression, anxiety, trauma and relationship struggles, drawing on a range of evidence-informed methods to help clients develop clearer coping strategies and greater emotional regulation. Her work emphasizes understanding patterns that contribute to isolation, communication breakdowns, shame, and guilt, while fostering self-compassion and healthier ways of relating.

Adriana combines a trauma-aware perspective with practical skill-building so clients can address day-to-day stressors as well as longer-standing wounds. Clients who choose her style can expect an empathetic and collaborative approach that prioritizes personal insight and resilience.

She aims to support people as they rebuild confidence, improve interpersonal connections, and create more sustainable routines for wellbeing.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Adriana frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and developing psychological flexibility so clients learn to accept difficult feelings while committing to meaningful life changes.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Adriana discusses clients' goals, life context, and preferences to determine whether CBT, ACT, or elements from attachment-informed or client-centered work will best support progress, and she adjusts methods as the work unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and practice skills between sessions with ongoing support from a licensed professional.
