About Adriene
Adriene Faust, LCSW, is a California-based therapist with 20 years of clinical experience helping people navigate depression, anxiety, grief, and addictions. She works with adults on relationship and family stress, parenting concerns, and life transitions. Adriene treats each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She focuses on practical steps that fit into everyday life.
Adriene uses a mix of approaches to match a person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on acceptance-based work to help people live by their values. Attachment-informed ideas guide conversations about how early relationships affect current trust and closeness.
Sessions are collaborative and tailored. Adriene listens first, then helps set clear, achievable goals. Conversations can range from skill-building for emotional regulation to making plans for changing behavior around substance use or eating concerns.
With two decades of practice, Adriene has supported people through trauma, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and major life changes. She also helps with career and self-esteem issues, compassion fatigue, and attention concerns. Her approach is straightforward and focused on what will make daily life feel more manageable.
Adriene asks clients to be active partners in the work. She helps people try new strategies between sessions and checks progress along the way. The goal is steady, practical change rather than quick fixes.
