About Adriana

Adriana Cortes is a New York licensed clinician with 13 years of professional experience and a commitment to helping people move toward more satisfying lives. She holds an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a credential that indicates advanced training in clinical social work and therapeutic practice.

Over the course of her career she has supported people coping with stress and anxiety, managing addictions, finding motivation, and rebuilding self esteem and confidence. She also works with clients facing depression, helping them identify practical steps and inner strengths to improve daily functioning and mood.

Cortes approaches therapy from the perspective that each person is the expert in their own story and already carries strengths that can be called on during change. She emphasizes the courage involved in seeking support and treats the therapeutic relationship as a place to build empowerment, clarity, and sustainable progress. Her role is to provide guidance, tools, and encouragement as clients take the first steps toward a happier and more fulfilling life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Adriana Cortes uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and emotional understanding. One approach emphasizes skills training to help clients manage stress, anxiety, and day-to-day mood, teaching concrete strategies for coping and regulation. Another approach centers on behavioral and motivational strategies to address addictive patterns and low motivation, helping clients set achievable goals and build routines that support recovery. She also draws on strengths-based work to bolster self esteem and confidence, helping people recognize and use their existing resources to face challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey, and Adriana works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together the therapist and client assess progress and adjust methods over time so the care remains responsive and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible options for scheduling and communication, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, supporting continuity of care and allowing therapy to fit into varied lifestyles and responsibilities.
