About Adriane
Adriane Villanueva is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in New Jersey who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes.
Background and approach
She draws on six years of clinical experience to support clients working through mood concerns, panic attacks, relationship and attachment difficulties, and challenges such as caregiver stress, isolation, and financial worries. Adriane emphasizes clients' strengths and collaborates to build practical skills for coping and increased confidence.
Her style blends evidence-informed methods with a respectful, client-centered stance that treats each person as the expert on their own life. She weaves cognitive behavioral techniques with motivational interviewing and narrative and psychodynamic ideas when they fit a client's needs.
Adriane encourages small, achievable steps and honors the courage it takes to begin therapy, offering steady support as people pursue clearer goals and healthier patterns of thinking and relating.
Approach and Accessibility in Online Therapy
Adriane commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and stress management. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space that emphasizes listening and building on a person's strengths. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she employs to help people clarify their goals and strengthen their own motivation for change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; Adriane works together with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time as progress and challenges arise. This partnership helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and manageable for the individual.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to access consistent care from New Jersey and internationally, allowing people to engage in therapy in ways that match their daily life and communication style.
