Adrianna Buckingham began her career as an attorney in Philadelphia, gaining valuable experience on both the plaintiff and defense sides of litigation. Despite her success, she struggled to find true fulfillment in the traditional legal path. After the birth of her first child during the COVID-19 pandemic, Adrianna recognized the toll that chronic stress and anxiety were taking on her well-being. Seeking support, she began counseling—an experience that revealed not only what she needed personally but what she felt called to do professionally.

Through reflection and therapeutic work, Adrianna realized that litigation was draining rather than energizing her. Determined to build a more meaningful and sustainable career, she returned to school at night to pursue her Master’s in Social Work. While continuing her legal practice, she completed extensive clinical training, providing both individual and group therapy. These experiences affirmed her passion for helping high-achieving professionals navigate stress, transitions, and the pressures of performance.

Adrianna founded AB In-House Counseling to bring together her legal background, clinical training, and deep understanding of the challenges faced by professionals. She offers therapeutic counseling and executive coaching grounded in cognitive behavioral principles—helping clients clarify goals, identify internal and external obstacles, reframe limiting thoughts, and build effective strategies for long-term success. Her approach empowers clients to manage stress, cope with setbacks, regulate emotions, and enhance both personal and professional fulfillment.

By shifting her own career toward one that aligns with her strengths and values, Adrianna is committed to helping others do the same—so they can not only excel, but thrive.
