About Adan
Adan Montalvo is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, and parenting challenges. He writes and talks plainly with clients so they can make practical changes. His style is warm and interactive and aims to reduce blame while building workable steps forward.
He uses clear, goal-oriented methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy. That means sessions often look at specific thoughts and behaviors, then try small experiments to test new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Narrative therapy also appears in his work when clients want to reframe difficult life stories. Adan brings 12 years of experience as a psychotherapist in Texas. He avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Conversations are tailored to each person rather than following a rigid script. Parents and family members who feel overwhelmed by everyday demands may find his practical approach helpful. He often helps with sleep and eating concerns, grief, addiction-related questions, and career stress.
He also addresses attachment and blended family issues when those come up. Clients who choose to work with him complete a matching process and then schedule sessions that fit their lives. Adan supports people ready to take steps toward a more manageable, fulfilling life, offering coaching-style guidance alongside traditional therapy techniques.
Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. The therapist creates a nonjudgmental space and follows the client's concerns so sessions reflect real-life priorities. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and steady support.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions can use CBT to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, practical changes between meetings. This method is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose techniques that fit the client's needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let people meet from home, fit sessions around family schedules, and use shorter check-ins when needed. For many clients, that accessibility makes it easier to keep consistent progress over time.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Narrative Therapy
Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
