About Adrienne

LCSW in New York with nine years of clinical experience, Adrienne DeForrest focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She describes her work as helping people pause, catch a second wind, and begin again when life feels foggy or overwhelming. Adrienne uses practical skills and mindfulness to bring clarity to difficult moments.

Adrienne centers the work on a collaborative relationship. She aims to teach skills that manage day-to-day concerns and build resilience over time. Sessions involve straightforward conversations and concrete tools rather than abstract theory.

She supports people who want either short-term relief for a specific situation or longer-term work to change patterns. When someone needs immediate ways to reduce anxiety or stress, Adrienne focuses on simple calming techniques and problem-solving.

For self-esteem and life-change work she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. That can look like trying new behaviors between sessions and reviewing what worked. The emphasis is on actions people can use again in other parts of life.

Adrienne writes that mindfulness practices are part of her approach to help bring attention back to the present moment. She pairs those practices with practical exercises aimed at daily functioning. Her style is direct and skills-focused, with an eye toward usable changes rather than long lectures.

Approaches you might use and how online sessions are practical

Adrienne lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques and emphasizes skills people can apply between sessions. Mindfulness practice is one approach she uses; it involves simple attention exercises and grounding activities to reduce reactivity and help with stress or anxiety. Another common technique focuses on skills training - teaching short, repeatable strategies for managing emotions, organizing tasks, or handling transitions tied to ADHD and life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Adrienne will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and everyday routine. That choice may shift as progress is made, and she looks to the client’s experience to guide adjustments.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during a workday break. Some formats also let people opt for shorter visits when a quick strategy review is needed or choose camera-off conversations when that better suits concentration or low bandwidth. Those practical benefits help therapy be part of everyday life without requiring major schedule changes.
