About Adriana Lara

Adriana Lara is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a twelve-year history of working with children, teens, families, and adults across rural and urban communities. She earned a Master of Science from the University of Vermont in 2014, where she focused on supporting teens and young adults facing substance use and mental health challenges and trained in skills that emphasize culturally responsive care. Her practice attends to the whole person by considering factors such as race, religion, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, and the unique experiences that shape each individual's life.

Adriana draws on an eclectic, client-centered style that prioritizes strong rapport and trust as the foundation for meaningful work. She frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy - an approach that helps clients identify thought patterns that influence feelings and behaviors and replace unhelpful thoughts with more realistic alternatives. Her experience includes supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem concerns, parenting and family issues, anger, career questions, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Adriana aims to create a supportive space where people can explore concerns, build practical skills, and work toward the relief and growth they seek.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care



Adriana integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered approaches into her online practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients examine how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors, then build practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration, creating a space where clients can explore their experiences and values at their own pace; this approach is helpful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes. Adriana also draws on motivational interviewing techniques when clients are facing ambivalence about change, using guided conversation to strengthen motivation and clarify goals.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Adriana collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time to support progress in a way that feels manageable and aligned with the client's values.

Online therapy with Adriana is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports scheduling flexibility and access from different locations. These options allow clients to engage in therapy in formats that match their lifestyle while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional and continuing therapeutic momentum.
