About Adriana
Adriana Caughie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, grief, relationship struggles, trauma, and self-esteem challenges. She aims to create a steady presence for clients who feel overwhelmed or stuck. Adriana writes and speaks plainly in sessions and helps people find practical steps they can use between meetings.
She believes the first task is to listen closely and really hear a person’s story.
Background and approach
In conversation she will reflect what she hears, share relatable experiences when appropriate, and help clients trace where difficult feelings and behaviors started. That often means looking at patterns born from family history, loss, or past hurt. Adriana uses approaches that encourage self-awareness and skill building.
She helps people shift unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors so emotions begin to follow. Therapy includes identifying changeable patterns and trying small experiments outside of sessions to reshape daily life. Her work also attends to big life moments such as aging, serious illness, caregiving strain, divorce, end-of-life concerns, and the aftermath of disasters.
She supports people working through guilt, shame, codependency, and isolation as they rebuild a sense of meaning and purpose. With 19 years of experience in Pennsylvania, Adriana aims to be a steady collaborator. She frames therapy as a joint effort: honest, brave, and gradual.
Her goal is to help people move toward greater peace, clearer relationships, and a stronger sense of self.
How Adriana’s Approaches Work Online
Adriana often draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's experience and emphasizes listening, empathy, and the person’s own goals. That approach helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through fear, grief, or relationship pain.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it can help reduce anxiety, change stuck patterns, and improve mood by testing small changes between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Adriana treats the choice of methods as collaborative and adjusts strategies based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She will suggest experiments, coping skills, and different ways of reflecting until a good fit emerges.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, and chat or text can suit brief check-ins or shorter coaching-style support. These options give flexibility for appointments during work breaks, while traveling, or when scheduling constraints make in-person visits hard.
