Adrianne Aguilera, LCSW

Adrianne Aguilera is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New Mexico. She brings 13 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, and parenting concerns. She frames clients as experts in their own lives and aims to support people as they make changes that matter to them.

She uses a straightforward, strengths-focused style in sessions. Adrianne listens first and helps clients clarify what they want to change. Then she offers practical tools and steps that fit each person’s life. Conversations are meant to feel collaborative rather than directive.

Common topics she addresses include self-esteem, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, anger, and body image. She also works with issues like communication problems, divorce and separation, eating and food-related challenges, and guilt and shame. Those areas often overlap with stress, anxiety, and trauma work.

Adrianne also supports people dealing with veteran and armed forces issues, money and financial stress, polyamory or non-monogamous relationship questions, and concerns around pregnancy and childbirth. She incorporates approaches that match the issue and the person’s goal, focusing on practical change.

Sessions blend listening, reflection, and skill-building. The goal is to help people notice what’s working, test new ways of coping, and take manageable steps toward the life they want. Adrianne emphasizes respect for each person’s story and steady support through change.

Evidence-based approaches and online care options

Adrianne uses client-centered therapy to focus sessions on each person’s priorities and strengths. That approach means the therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps people decide what changes matter most. It works well for stress, self-esteem, relationship concerns, and parenting questions.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT often involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes to see what helps, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adrianne will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She adapts tools and pacing so the plan feels realistic and useful for daily life.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. A clinician can also suggest ways to practice tools between sessions so progress continues between appointments.
