About Adriana

Adriana Escamilla is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with more than 23 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and attention difficulties including ADHD, helping clients improve concentration, motivation, and confidence.

Background and approach

Her approach centers on recognizing each person's strengths and lived expertise as the foundation for change. Adriana encourages clients to take courageous steps toward greater fulfillment and well-being while offering steady support and empowerment throughout the process.

She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address issues such as panic, postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, relationship communication problems, and multicultural concerns. Sessions can address life purpose, midlife transitions, body image, codependency, and related challenges with a focus on building practical skills and increasing self-love.

Fluent in English and Spanish, Adriana provides care through multiple online session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and aims to match clients with the right timing and format for their healing journey.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Adriana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and emotional processing. One approach emphasizes strengthening coping skills and attention strategies to improve concentration and manage symptoms commonly associated with ADHD and anxiety. This helps clients develop routines, organizational habits, and tools for better focus and daily functioning. Another approach centers on trauma-informed work that supports processing difficult experiences and reducing the impact of past abuse or post-traumatic stress; this kind of work typically integrates grounding techniques, emotional regulation, and paced exploration of memories to promote healing.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to identify goals, preferences, and the strategies that feel most effective, adjusting methods over time as needs evolve to ensure the work aligns with the client's priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose modalities that fit their schedule and comfort level. These formats can make it easier to maintain consistent care, access bilingual services in English and Spanish, and integrate therapy into busy lives while working with a licensed professional in California.
