About Adriana

Adriana Samano is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, depression, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in California.

She focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters to them. Sessions are aimed at identifying what is causing the most strain and finding practical ways to reduce it. She emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes and works at a pace that fits each person.

Her work includes addressing attachment concerns, communication problems, blended family dynamics, and workplace stress. She also supports people coping with pregnancy and childbirth challenges, postpartum depression, domestic violence aftermath, grief, guilt, and infidelity. Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) and other mood concerns are within her experience.

Adriana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people change unhelpful patterns and build healthier habits. She meets clients where they are and partners with them to set realistic goals. The focus is practical tools people can use between sessions to manage emotions and improve relationships.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. The service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fee levels vary by location and therapist availability.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

Approaches that guide online work and healing

Evidence-based techniques are used to address mood and relationship concerns. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more constructive actions. This helps people reduce anxiety, shift low mood, and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on attachment and relationship dynamics, helping people understand how past patterns affect current interactions and teaching clearer communication and boundaries.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each person to figure out which techniques fit their needs, goals, and style. This means trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting direction together rather than assuming a single path up front.

Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions to occur from wherever a person is available. It can also support shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or allow phone-based conversations when video is not preferred. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and focus to match day-to-day needs and goals.
