About Ariana

Ariana Gordon is a New Jersey Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, addictions, and other complex mental health concerns.

Background and approach

She centers her work on exploring personal histories and uncovering patterns that influence present-day choices and emotional responses. Ariana emphasizes understanding how communication styles, thoughts, and feelings shape daily functioning and signals where change can begin.

Her practice focuses on practical skills and perspective shifts that support healthier coping and clearer decision making. Ariana guides clients in developing new ways to approach difficult situations, reduce distress, and build toward goals that reflect their values.

She draws from evidence-based methods while keeping the therapeutic relationship responsive to each person’s needs, supporting work on areas such as self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and life transitions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy prioritizes the client's own goals and perspective, offering an empathetic space where people can explore their feelings and life experiences while feeling heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and developing practical skills to change behaviors that maintain distress, which is useful for anxiety, mood challenges, and coping with ADHD-related patterns. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that helps people clarify their values and strengthen motivation for change, often used when addressing addictions or ambivalence about change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work and happens together. Ariana will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds so therapy stays relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life is busy. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support and practical interventions while accommodating different communication styles and logistical needs.
