Adriana Hernandez

Adriana Hernandez is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make first steps toward change feel manageable and hopeful.

Adriana approaches therapy believing each person knows their story best. She looks for strengths a client already has and builds on them. Sessions emphasize practical steps and clearer thinking so people can move forward from places of shame, guilt, or loss.

Her work often addresses feelings tied to abandonment, attachment, and communication problems. She also supports those facing caregiver strain, divorce or separation, and workplace stress. Isolation and loneliness are named concerns she can help people talk through.

Adriana uses straightforward tools from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavior changes. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help clients find personal goals and keep momentum toward them.

She invites people to take the first step even when it feels hard. The therapist aims to provide steady support while clients test new ways of coping and reconnecting with what matters to them.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Adriana commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and helping people name their own goals so they feel understood and supported. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical ways to change thoughts and try new actions that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Adriana collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in and adjusts the work as goals change so the plan stays relevant and useful.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific online formats are not listed here. Ask about the available session options when you start the matching process. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps maintain progress.
