About Ajiroghene

Ajiroghene "Adrianna" Onwawoma is a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina who focuses on helping people facing midlife transitions and related stresses. She supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, career changes, and compassion fatigue. Her goal is to help clients find greater balance and clearer direction in their daily lives.

Adrianna brings 16 years of experience to her work and draws on several practical methods. She emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where people can talk honestly about hard things. Sessions tend to be straightforward and collaborative, with attention to immediate concerns and longer-term goals.

Her approach pulls from cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and actions. She also uses client-centered principles that center the client's perspective and pace. Attachment-based work is used when early relationship patterns affect current stress and connection with others.

Adrianna has supported people through trauma, caregiver stress, family-of-origin issues, blended family challenges, and major life changes such as divorce, illness, or job shifts. She also works with mood differences including bipolar disorder and disruptive mood challenges in family contexts. Her style balances practical coping tools with space to process loss and anger.

To begin, she encourages people to describe what feels most pressing and then builds a plan together. The focus is on making small, workable changes that fit each person's routine and values.

How her approaches translate to online work

Ajiroghene "Adrianna" Onwawoma uses approaches that fit well with remote conversations and practical skill-building. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values; it is useful for midlife doubts, stress, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behavior and testing new ways of acting; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and work-related stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect present interactions and can help when relationship issues or family-of-origin concerns drive current problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Adrianna will review goals, life demands, and what feels most helpful to the client, then try methods that match those needs. The process is collaborative and can shift as progress is made or new issues arise.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins during breaks or evenings. It also lets the therapist and client use worksheets, behavioral experiments, and emotion-regulation exercises during or between sessions to keep progress practical and tied to everyday life.
