About Adamina
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns in thoughts and feelings. Sessions often include goal-setting and practical skills to manage strong emotions and reduce unhelpful thinking.
Adamina blends several therapeutic approaches to fit what a client needs. She uses Client-Centered methods to follow a person’s priorities and build understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift thinking that feeds anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for emotion regulation when feelings feel overwhelming.
She also integrates mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to support focus and movement toward meaningful choices. Early sessions include an assessment and collaborative goal planning so progress can be tracked.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Adamina commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Client-Centered Therapy means she follows the client’s concerns and priorities, listening closely so goals come from the person seeking help. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and decision-making.She may also draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation when feelings are intense. DBT offers concrete techniques for managing strong emotions and improving communication, useful in relationship conflicts or times of high stress. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process; she works with each client to decide what fits best for their goals and situation.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking. The therapist encourages live video or phone sessions and does not offer live chat at this time. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments can work around work or caregiving demands. Confirm the current session options when you schedule so expectations match the available formats.
