Adan Montalvo

Adan Montalvo is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing anger, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. He aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where concerns can be talked through and practical steps can be tried.

His style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on real problems and concrete changes rather than labels. He listens first, then helps people set short‑term goals they can actually use between meetings.

Adan uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution‑focused therapy. That means looking at unhelpful thought patterns, testing new behaviors, and picking small, achievable solutions to try right away. He also draws on client‑centered and narrative ideas to center the person's experience and personal story.

People come to him for many concerns including stress, addictions, grief, parenting strain, identity and LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating problems, and career challenges. He also supports work around attachment, codependency, and intimacy concerns.

Adan tailors a plan to each person's needs and goals. He walks alongside clients as they try new coping skills and adjust their routines. If someone wants a clear, practical path forward, he helps shape steps they can take between sessions.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist follows the person's lead, offers empathy, and helps them make meaning from their story. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Solution‑Focused Therapy narrows attention to what will help now and sets small achievable goals to move forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. That way the plan can be adjusted as needs and priorities emerge, making the process collaborative rather than one size fits all.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know what is available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check‑ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use video or audio options depending on comfort and bandwidth. The main aim is to make therapy practical and workable for everyday routines.
