You Don’t Have to Carry It All Alone

Life doesn’t come with a manual—and when you’re struggling, even small decisions can feel heavy. Maybe your mind is racing all the time, or maybe it’s gone quiet and numb. Maybe you’re holding everything together on the outside, while silently falling apart on the inside. If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.

That’s where Adriana Pacini, LCSW, comes in. Adriana is a bilingual psychotherapist offering in-person therapy in New Jersey and online therapy across New Jersey. She works with kids, teens, adults, couples, and families in both English and Spanish, creating a warm, inclusive space for healing and growth.

Adriana's A Therapist Who Gets It—And Gets You

Adriana isn’t the kind of therapist who just nods and takes notes. She meets you with compassion, curiosity, and a calming presence that says, “You can let your guard down here.” Her clients describe her as empathetic, easy to talk to, and insightful, and it’s easy to see why.

With years of experience working with children, teens, and families in high-stress environments, Adriana understands the power of being seen without judgment. She specializes in helping people navigate:

Anxiety & stress
Trauma and PTSD
Parent-child relationships
Identity, self-worth, and life transitions
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or lost

Therapy Isn’t About “Fixing” You, It’s About Finding You

Adriana believes you already hold wisdom within you. Her job is to help you access it. Whether you’re a teen trying to find your voice, a parent struggling to stay grounded, or an adult working through emotional scars you’ve carried for years, you deserve a space where your voice matters. You don’t need to show up perfectly. You don’t need to have the right words. You just need to show up—and Adriana will meet you right there.

She works especially well with:

Teens and adults who feel anxious or disconnected
Parents and caregivers seeking support with parent-child relationships
Individuals processing trauma or navigating major life transitions

What Makes Adriana Different?

Adriana brings something rare to the therapy room: a realness that makes it easy to open up.

With years of experience supporting children, teens, and families in high-stress environments, Adriana knows how to meet clients exactly where they are. She’s not here to judge or push—she’s here to walk beside you, offering structure and flexibility, practical tools, and a space that feels like yours.

Her clients describe her as:

Empathetic
Easy to talk to
Nonjudgmental
Insightful

What Sessions Are Like With Adriana

Therapy with Adriana starts with building a genuine relationship. In your first sessions, she’ll get to know who you are, what’s been weighing on you, and what you'd like to shift or explore. There’s no pressure to have all the answers—just a shared commitment to understanding and healing.

Each session is a balance of:

Structure and flexibility
Curiosity and compassion
Evidence-based tools and human connection

What to Expect in Therapy

In your first few sessions, Adriana will help you get clear on what’s bringing you to therapy and what you’d like to shift. Her approach blends structure and intuition, always moving at your pace.

She draws from evidence-based methods like:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Helps you identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.
Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) Focuses on your strengths and goals to help you find practical solutions and move forward.
Narrative Therapy Allows you to explore your life story and shift how problems are understood, giving you more agency in your healing process.

Each session is collaborative, personalized, and rooted in the belief that you already hold the answers—you just need the right support to uncover them.

A Glimpse Into Adriana’s World

Adriana became a therapist because she wanted to be the person she needed when she was younger. Today, she helps her clients break harmful cycles, build self-trust, and heal in ways they didn’t think were possible. Beyond the therapy room, Adriana is a creative at heart. She paints and draws to express feelings words can’t always capture. She’s also an options trader—yes, seriously!—and a World War II history buff who loves understanding how the past shapes who we are today.

You Deserve to Feel Like You Again

You don’t need to be in crisis to begin. You just need to be curious about what healing could look like. Therapy with Adriana is about rediscovering parts of yourself that got lost along the way and feeling confident, connected, and grounded again.
