About Ariana
Ariana Gordon is a New Jersey Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship strain, grief, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.
She focuses on understanding how past experiences shape current patterns. Ariana talks with clients about communication styles, emotional responses, and thinking habits that influence daily life. She aims to help people notice what repeats and where small changes could ease ongoing struggles.
Her sessions tend to blend practical tools with reflective conversation. Clients learn skills to manage symptoms and also look at underlying feelings or beliefs that keep problems going. She uses clear, direct methods to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while keeping the person’s values in view.
People often bring specific issues like relationship conflict, substance concerns, or family-of-origin wounds. Ariana can support work on anger, codependency, attachment and control issues, and on rebuilding trust after infidelity. She also helps with questions about life purpose, career stress, and coping with major change.
Her style mixes client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques. That combination aims to move a person toward actionable steps and greater clarity. To start, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see if the approach fits.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Ariana commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client's perspective. That means she listens closely and follows the person’s lead to identify what matters most and how they want to change. This approach can help someone clarify goals and feel understood.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT offers clear strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and some relationship or coping problems by changing thinking and testing new behaviors.
Existential Therapy is another element she may use when questions about meaning, life purpose, or identity come up. It focuses on values, choice, and finding personal direction amid life transitions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust this plan as the work progresses.

Online sessions can make regular appointments easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel to an office. Many people find that remote sessions help maintain consistency during life changes and day-to-day responsibilities.
