Adriana Caughie , LPC

Adriana Caughie decided early in life that she wanted to support others through difficult times. When a close friend lost her mother to cancer during adolescence, Adriana remembers wishing she had the words to offer comfort, and that wish guided her toward a career in counseling. She values the simple but profound act of showing up for someone who is hurting - listening closely, honoring vulnerability, and bearing witness to each person’s story.

In therapy she uses openness and empathy to help clients explore where their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors originate. She will share relevant experiences when appropriate and works collaboratively to identify life patterns that keep people stuck. By shifting thoughts and perspectives, she helps clients create changes in emotion and behavior that allow healing to unfold.

Adriana works with trauma, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and grief and loss, and she encourages clients to reclaim their strengths and potential. She believes understanding one’s past and motives can dismantle long-standing barriers of fear and shame and make room for growth. Therapy, she affirms, takes courage and commitment, but with support people can move toward greater peace and more meaningful connections.

Adriana is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and draws on approaches that foster empowerment, improved coping, and healthier relationships. She welcomes the chance to walk alongside clients as they pursue their goals and shine their light more brightly.

Approaches to Healing and How Online Therapy Supports Them

Adriana uses client-centered therapy to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s priorities guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration and is helpful for people coping with grief, low self-esteem, and difficult life transitions.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical for managing stress, anxiety, and patterns that contribute to relationship conflict or emotional distress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are used when clients need skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. DBT tools can be especially useful for intense emotional experiences and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Adriana works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust strategies as progress unfolds and as priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit regular care into a busy life. These options let clients access licensed professionals and continue consistent work on coping skills, communication, and healing from wherever they are.
