About Ajiroghene
Ajiroghene "Adrianna" Onwawoma is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. She focuses on helping people cope with life changes, manage anxiety and depression, and work through relationship and family challenges. Adrianna aims to create a calm, respectful space where someone can talk about hard things and start to feel more able to move forward.
With 16 years of experience, she draws on a mix of practical approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused. Adrianna uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work and emotion-focused methods to help people learn skills, shift unhelpful patterns, and handle intense emotions.
She also incorporates attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current connections. That helps when the issue involves commitment, communication problems, or feelings of abandonment and emptiness. Dialectical behavior ideas are used when people need concrete tools for stress, anger, or mood swings.
Adrianna has supported people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue. She also has experience with mood disorders such as bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder and with concerns tied to major life events like divorce or serious illness.
Her style is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. She works with each person to set clear goals and practical steps they can try between sessions. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site's Start Therapy process to match and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Ajiroghene "Adrianna" Onwawoma uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports choosing actions that match personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they show up now, which can be useful for communication or commitment issues.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Adrianna will work together with each person to pick methods that match their goals and needs. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
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 life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone continue care during major life changes, when coping with grief or relocation, or when coordinating care around work and caregiver responsibilities.
