About Ajiroghene

Ajiroghene "Adrianna" Onwawoma is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina who brings 16 years of clinical experience to her work with individuals facing relationship challenges, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and a range of mood and stress-related issues.

Background and approach

She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, parenting struggles, anger, career transitions, and compassion fatigue while also addressing attachment wounds, abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and communication problems.

Adrianna blends evidence-informed approaches to create a tailored plan for each person, drawing on Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered principles, and cognitive behavioral techniques.

Her practice emphasizes warmth, empathy, and a collaborative relationship where clients can explore family of origin issues, codependency, commitment concerns, or the emotional effects of serious illness and life disruptions.

Sessions are offered through a variety of online formats to fit different schedules and preferences, and she helps clients move toward clearer coping strategies, restored relationships, and a renewed sense of purpose.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Internal Family Systems (IFS) views the mind as containing multiple parts and a core Self; in practice this means exploring different inner voices or patterns to reduce internal conflict and promote healing from trauma, attachment wounds, and persistent emotional pain. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns formed in early life and works to strengthen emotional bonds and improve communication in current relationships.

Deciding which method fits best is part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist approaches this collaboratively, listening to clients' goals, assessing which approaches might be most helpful, and adjusting the plan over time as needs and preferences evolve.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. These remote options allow people to access licensed professionals from home or another convenient location, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for their process.
