About Adia
Her style is direct but compassionate. She listens first, then works alongside clients to set clear, realistic goals. Sessions emphasize practical skills people can use between meetings, such as coping strategies for anger, tools for managing mood swings, and ways to improve communication with others.
Adia uses approaches drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment principles, dialectical skills, and motivational interviewing. She centers the client's experiences and values when choosing what to practice in sessions. That means clients play an active role in deciding which strategies feel right for them.
She has supported people facing grief, trauma, addiction, caregiver stress, attachment and adoption challenges, and issues like guilt, shame, and isolation. Adia also works with clients who have ADHD and bipolar-related concerns, helping them find routines and skills that fit daily life.
Her practice asks clients to be involved and honest about what helps and what does not. New clients complete a short questionnaire to begin the matching process, then schedule sessions according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions, which can help with intense emotions and relationship conflict.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and then try methods that fit those priorities. Clients and the therapist check in about what helps and adjust the plan over time so work in sessions connects with life outside therapy.
For practical matters, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also lets people practice skills in real contexts and bring those experiences back to sessions for review and adjustment.
