About Ajiroghene

Ajiroghene "Adrianna" Onwawoma is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing relationship strain, family and parenting pressures, trauma and grief, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety, stress, anger, and career-related distress. Adrianna also names compassion fatigue, attachment and abandonment issues, blended family concerns, and caregiver stress among her focus areas.

Adrianna's style is straightforward and person-focused. She listens to what is happening at home and in daily routines, then uses practical strategies to address those patterns. Sessions often look at how thoughts and actions interact, and how small changes can ease ongoing conflict or overwhelm.

Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and test unhelpful thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports noticing painful feelings while choosing meaningful actions. Attachment-Based work explores how early relationships affect present family dynamics.

Adrianna also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for managing strong emotions and a client-centered stance that keeps the person's goals central. She frames therapy as a collaborative process, where practical tools are matched to each person's situation.

She practices in South Carolina and conducts work in English. The site uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session costs vary by location. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Adrianna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) commonly in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to change patterns of behavior. ACT helps people notice difficult emotions and choose actions that align with their values instead of getting stuck in avoidance or rumination.

She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns influence current family interactions. That work examines communication habits, trust, and closeness to help untangle repeated conflicts at home. Deciding which method to emphasize is a collaborative process; she and the client test approaches and adjust based on what helps most.

The practical benefits of doing this work online include fitting sessions around busy family schedules and reducing travel time so check-ins can be shorter when needed. The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes and to work on skills between meetings, with the therapist and client choosing a pace that fits day-to-day routines.
