About Ajiroghene
Ajiroghene "Adrianna" Onwawoma is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 16 years of experience. She works with young adults and others facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life changes. Her profile highlights concerns like family problems, parenting stress, career transitions, and coping after loss or abuse.
Adrianna draws from several evidence-based approaches to shape sessions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. In practice this means she helps people notice difficult thoughts, try new behavior experiments, build emotion regulation skills, and attend to relational patterns rooted in attachment.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and practical skills. Conversations address communication problems, codependency and commitment issues, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact of illness or loss. She also works with people facing bipolar mood challenges, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder concerns, and first responder stress, helping them manage symptoms and daily routines.
Adrianna offers a direct, collaborative style. She listens, reflects patterns, and suggests exercises to practice between meetings. For young adults this often includes support around identity, feeling behind peers, starting first jobs, and managing study or work stress.
Her education includes a master’s degree in counseling from Regent University. People who choose to work with her typically complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin setting goals.
How her approaches translate to online work
Ajiroghene "Adrianna" Onwawoma uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and for people feeling stuck during life transitions.She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This approach helps when communication problems, abandonment concerns, or blended family issues are getting in the way of stable relationships.
Finding the right approach is worked out together. The therapist and client review goals, try a method, and adjust based on what fits the person’s needs and preferences. That collaborative process is part of early sessions.
Confirm what session formats are offered before scheduling, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. If you value practical skills work and behavioral experiments between meetings, those tasks translate well to remote sessions and can be reviewed together during appointments.
