About Ajiroghene

Ajiroghene "Adrianna" Onwawoma is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. She helps people who are facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and work-related burnout. Adrianna aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can manage hard moments and move forward.

Adrianna draws on 16 years of counseling experience and a master’s degree in counseling. She shapes each plan to fit the person in front of her rather than using a single method for everyone. Sessions often focus on learning skills, making sense of painful events, and practicing different ways of relating to others.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take steps toward them. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Attachment-based ideas help explore how early relationships affect current connections.

Adrianna also brings tools from dialectical behavior therapy and client-centered work when needed. That combination supports people dealing with intense emotions, grief, or changes in relationships. She pays attention to family background, abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress when relevant.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not currently accepted. To begin, readers are invited to use the site Start Therapy process to match and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It can help with grief, depression, and stress by shifting attention from unhelpful thinking to meaningful behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying patterns of thought and behavior and practicing practical changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and can help with abandonment, communication, and family issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, how they like to work, and what feels most useful. That discussion guides whether ACT, CBT, attachment-focused ideas, or a mix will be used, and the plan can change over time as needs shift.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and clients can use the first meetings to try different pacing and techniques and pick what fits daily life best.
