About Adriana
Adriana Caughie is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 19 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, grief, and self-esteem struggles. She focuses on listening first and creating space for honest conversation. Adriana speaks plainly and stays present so people feel understood and not judged.
She came to counseling after a personal loss in adolescence and has spent her career learning how to sit with hard feelings.
Background and approach
In sessions she often helps clients trace where feelings and behaviors come from. That can mean looking at family patterns, past wounds, or recurring thoughts that keep someone stuck. Adriana uses structured tools when they help, and a human, client-centered stance at the core.
She draws from Narrative approaches to reframe stories people tell about themselves. She also incorporates cognitive tools to shift patterns of thinking and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to cope with strong emotions. Her work also attends to life transitions and practical burdens.
This includes caregiving stress, aging and geriatric concerns, cancer-related issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and divorce or separation. Adriana supports people dealing with isolation, codependency, communication problems, and finding purpose. She believes change takes courage and steady effort, and that therapy is a place to practice new ways of thinking and relating.
Adriana aims to help clients uncover strengths, interrupt negative cycles, and move toward greater calm, connection, and meaning.

How narrative and skills work in online therapy
Adriana draws on Narrative Therapy to help people revisit the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships; this work can reduce shame and open new possibilities. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on the clientxperience, offering empathy and reflection so people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and teach concrete skills for managing anxiety and stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Adriana works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. That collaboration helps shape sessions into a plan that feels useful and manageable.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit counseling into busy lives. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and texting are helpful for shorter check-ins, skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats offer flexibility while allowing licensed professionals to guide coping skills, narrative work, and practical behavior changes.
