How her approaches fit into online therapy
Adamina blends several practical methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the client guides the pace and goals of therapy.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to help people manage intense emotions and build coping skills. DBT-style skills are useful when someone needs tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or improving communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Adamina provides telehealth services for adults across California. The original profile encourages scheduling live video or phone sessions rather than live chat, so confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for direct face-to-face conversation over video, or offer a phone option when a shorter check-in is needed.
