About Ajiroghene

Ajiroghene "Adrianna" Onwawoma is a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina who helps people manage anger, relationship strain, grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, and parenting stress. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel approachable for someone juggling family and work. Her style is warm and compassionate, focused on building a real connection so a person feels understood from the start.

Adrianna draws on 16 years of experience to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. She blends methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In practice this looks like listening closely, identifying patterns that cause pain, and trying out new ways to respond to strong feelings.

She often focuses on problems that come up around family and relationships, including attachment concerns, blended family issues, communication problems, and separation or divorce. She also supports people facing burnout, caregiver stress, first responder strains, and challenges that follow trauma or loss.

Sessions aim to teach simple skills for coping with intense emotions, improving communication, and handling life changes. Adrianna encourages small, practical steps that fit into daily life. The work is collaborative - she helps people set goals and choose strategies that feel right for them.

People who want to start are asked to complete an initial questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability. Adrianna practices in South Carolina and offers services in English.

How certain approaches look in online therapy

Ajiroghene "Adrianna" Onwawoma uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anger, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns; it helps people understand and repair how they relate to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Adrianna works collaboratively to identify what fits best for a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She will explain options, try out methods, and adjust the plan together based on what helps most.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support more frequent skill practice between sessions. Ask about available formats when you sign up so you can choose what works best for your routine.
