About Adrienne
Adrienne Lear is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Adrienne also addresses adoption and foster care issues, codependency, substance concerns, workplace problems, and related areas.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Adrienne listens to what matters most to each person and helps identify small, practical steps to reduce distress and build coping skills.
Her approach emphasizes clear dialogue about thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and offers skills or experiments clients can try between sessions. CBT tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding.
Adrienne supports people dealing with the aftermath of trauma and abuse and those navigating life transitions like separation or pregnancy. She also helps people who struggle with guilt, shame, or challenges tied to military service and veterans' issues.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on problem solving. Clients can expect a practical plan and checkpoints to measure progress. To begin, people usually complete a short intake and set a first goal for work together.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective. The therapist listens without directing and reflects what she hears to help people clarify feelings and priorities. This approach is useful when someone needs space to make sense of experiences and decide what matters next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT offers concrete tools to spot unhelpful thinking, test alternative interpretations, and try new behaviors. It suits concerns such as anxiety, low mood, and patterns that keep problems stuck.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. Adrienne will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use based on their goals and preferences. That may mean mixing listening-based, exploratory work with skill-building exercises and at-home practice.
