About Adrianne
Adrianne Aguilera is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Mexico with 13 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addictions, and parenting concerns. Adrianne believes clients know their own stories and brings a steady, respectful presence to sessions.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps people set clear, realistic goals. Sessions often include problem-solving, skills practice, and space to process emotions.
Background and approach
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Adrianne uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that make life harder.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be part of work with past trauma when that feels appropriate. Client-centered techniques keep the conversation focused on the client's priorities. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support change around habits like eating or substance use.
This helps people find their own motivation and move at a pace that fits them. Parents who are feeling overwhelmed can get practical strategies for managing stress and communication changes at home. People come to Adrianne for help with body image, intimacy issues, grief around separation, loneliness, and financial stress.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to the everyday demands of life in New Mexico.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Adrianne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the client's priorities and builds from their strengths and values.She may also use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma-related work when appropriate; EMDR aims to help people process painful memories and reduce their emotional impact. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - Adrianne will talk through options, try approaches together, and adapt based on what feels most helpful for your goals.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for brief updates, skill coaching between sessions, or when writing out thoughts is easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
