Adriana Caughie, LPC

Adriana Caughie discovered a calling to support others at a young age after a close friend lost her mother to cancer when they were teenagers. That experience stayed with her and shaped a lifelong commitment to counseling and emotional care.

She centers her practice on showing up fully for people who are hurting - listening closely to their stories, holding space for vulnerability, and helping them name what they are feeling. Adriana uses empathic connection and reflective dialogue to help clients explore where their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors originate. When appropriate she self-discloses in ways that foster understanding and trust, and she works collaboratively to get beneath surface symptoms to the root causes of distress.

Adriana guides clients in identifying life patterns and breaking negative cycles by shifting thoughts and perspectives so emotions and behaviors can change. She believes that healing is possible and that understanding one’s past, motives, and fears can unlock potential and reduce barriers that have limited growth.

With 19 years of experience, Adriana specializes in trauma, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and grief and loss. She strives to empower people to believe in and love themselves, to improve quality of life, and to reconnect with what matters most. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, which is the credential she holds.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Adriana uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, person-focused environment where clients lead the conversation while the therapist offers empathy and reflection. This approach helps people clarify values, strengthen self-understanding, and feel heard during times of stress and loss.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are used to build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier interpersonal skills when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Adriana works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, to maintain continuity of care when life is unpredictable, and to receive support from home or another convenient location.
