Adrienne Better

Therapist

Virtual • Baltimore, MD


Therapy doesn’t have to feel like sitting across from someone who simply nods and asks, “How does that make you feel?” I’m Adrienne, and I bring warmth, honesty, and real conversation into the therapy room. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, relationship and family challenges, low self-esteem, and major life changes. My clients often appreciate that I truly listen, but I’m also willing to gently challenge you when it can help you see something differently. You can come as you are, without having the perfect words or a clear plan for what needs to change.

Therapist

Virtual • Brunswick, MD


Hi, I'm glad you're here!

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, carrying the weight of past experiences, navigating family conflict, grieving a loss, or adjusting to a major life change, you don't have to face it alone. Life can be incredibly challenging, and sometimes it's hard to know where to begin. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families, helping people find clarity, healing, and hope through life's most difficult seasons. My goal is to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported from the very first conversation.

My professional background includes clinical social work, pediatric healthcare, telehealth therapy, military-connected family support, domestic violence advocacy, and social work education. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in pediatric respiratory care with medically complex children and their families, an experience that continues to shape my understanding of caregiving, medical stress, grief, resilience, and the many ways families adapt during difficult times. I specialize in helping clients navigate trauma, anxiety, grief, family conflict, caregiver stress, medical and pediatric illness-related challenges, military family concerns, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

Welcome! I commend you on taking this big step to start working on your healing journey. I am a licensed clinical therapist with a Master’s degree in Social Work and over seven years of experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and with a variety of life experiences and challenges. My professional experience has allowed me to support clients as they navigate emotional, behavioral, relational, and life transitions.

I enjoy utilizing evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.

Therapist

I help individuals and couples who feel overloaded, anxious, or stuck. Life can be exhausting when stress, anxiety and relationship problems start piling up. You might be doing everything you can to keep going, but still feeling tense, misunderstood and worn down. When things feel heavy for too long, it can impact your sleep, your confidence, and your ability to show up the way you want to.

I offer a calm, steady space where you can talk openly without judgment. My work is focused on helping you understand what you’re feeling, why it’s happening, and how to get relief. You’ll get support that feels real, straightforward, and grounded.
