About Ariana

Ariana Gordon is a New Jersey Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, addictions, and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

She emphasizes understanding root causes and personal history as a foundation for healing, guiding clients to recognize how past experiences shape present patterns and emotions. Her work focuses on building insight into communication styles, thought processes, and emotional responses so clients can make intentional changes in daily life.

Ariana supports practical shifts in how people approach difficult situations, pairing exploration of meaning with strategies to manage symptoms and behavior. She draws on evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and existential perspectives to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Clients can expect a collaborative process aimed at clearer self-understanding and more effective coping. Ariana brings a committed, approachable stance to therapy and helps people move toward goals such as improved relationships, healthier coping with stress, and greater clarity about life direction.

Approaches and Accessibility in Online Therapy



Ariana often integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and client-centered therapy into her online work. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to distress and teaching concrete skills to change those patterns, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect for each person’s perspective, creating a space where clients can explore feelings and values at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ariana frames that choice as collaborative. She will discuss options with clients, consider their goals and preferences, and adapt methods over time so the work aligns with what feels most useful and meaningful to each person.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to support flexibility in scheduling and communication style. These formats make it easier for clients to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into busy lives, and they allow therapists to use both conversational work and targeted skill-building in ways that suit each client’s needs.
