About Ariana
Ariana Gordon is a New Jersey Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, anger, and self-esteem. Her approach centers on understanding each person’s history and how it shapes current feelings and reactions.
She listens for the stories behind emotions and behaviors. Then she works with clients to identify patterns in thinking, communication, and coping. That practical focus makes it easier to try new ways of handling difficult moments.
Background and approach
Sessions often involve talking through past experiences that still affect daily life. Ariana aims to help people see how their thoughts and choices feed emotions like shame, impulsivity, or anger. From there she and the client build steps to shift unhelpful patterns.
She uses goal-focused strategies when people want fast, clear change and longer conversations when deeper issues need attention. Ariana draws on cognitive behavioral tools, client-centered conversation, and motivational techniques to support progress. She also brings existential ideas when people want to explore life purpose and meaning.
People come to her for a range of concerns, from grief and family problems to career choices and compassion fatigue. Her work is practical, conversational, and tailored to each person’s goals and pace.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Ariana often combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person feels heard and can find their own answers; it helps when someone needs space to explore feelings like shame, grief, or emptiness. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, actions, and feelings connect and gives practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and impulsive behaviors like those linked to anger or anxiety.She approaches treatment as a collaboration. Early sessions are used to understand a person's goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose techniques that match those goals and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different needs. Video sessions let the therapist and client pick up on nonverbal cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text allow shorter check-ins and quick reflection between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
