Adriana Carranza, LCSW

Adriana Carranza is a Texas-based licensed clinician who supports children, teens, young adults, and multicultural communities through life transitions, mood challenges, and trauma recovery. As an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), she brings six years of practical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of abuse or traumatic events while strengthening self-esteem and communication skills.

She offers culturally responsive care in both English and Spanish, which helps her connect with clients navigating cultural stress, social anxiety, isolation, or prejudice. Adriana emphasizes a trauma-informed, empathetic stance that respects each person’s background and pace, guiding clients to explore their inner strengths and to develop practical coping strategies tailored to their needs.

Her work often focuses on improving relationships, supporting caregivers facing stress, addressing family and communication problems, and assisting with mood disorders and impulse-related concerns. Whether clients are dealing with post-traumatic stress, self-harm thoughts, sexual assault recovery, or the challenges of major life change, she aims to help them build resilience, cultivate self-compassion, and create sustainable tools for healing and growth.

Trauma-Informed and Culturally Responsive Online Support

Adriana uses trauma-informed care to create a supportive framework that recognizes the impact of traumatic experiences on thoughts, emotions, and behavior. This approach helps people recover from past hurt, reduce reactivity, and rebuild a sense of safety while addressing symptoms of post-traumatic stress and related mood concerns.

She also integrates skills-based coping strategies that teach practical tools for managing anxiety, stress, and mood shifts. These techniques focus on building everyday habits and communication skills that improve relationships and daily functioning for children, teens, and young adults.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Adriana collaborates with each client to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and personal preferences. As a licensed professional, she tailors interventions to cultural background, developmental stage, and the specific challenges presented.

Online therapy with Adriana offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care despite geographic or time constraints. This format supports ongoing skill practice and timely support between in-person opportunities.
