About Adan
Adan Montalvo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. He has 12 years of experience as a psychotherapist and helps individuals who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, parenting pressures, relationship strain, or life changes. His style is warm and interactive.
He aims to listen without judgment and to treat people with respect and compassion. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Adan commonly uses cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused methods to shape sessions. That means identifying patterns that cause distress and trying small, doable changes to see what helps. He also draws on client-centered listening to make sure each plan matches a person's needs.
He has worked with a wide range of concerns, including addiction, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, body image, and caregiver stress. He also supports people navigating blended family issues, abandonment or attachment worries, and career-related concerns. Adan frames therapy as a collaborative process.
He works with each person to set clear goals and to measure progress in straightforward ways. For parents feeling stressed or unsure, he offers concrete strategies for coping and balancing responsibilities. He encourages anyone ready to try a different way forward to reach out and begin the matching process.
Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to change and how they prefer to work.

Approaches that guide online parenting and life work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's point of view. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people clarify their priorities and strengths. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence behavior and mood. Sessions identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage cravings. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for a fuller conversation, phone works well with lower bandwidth or when video isn't possible, and chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and day-to-day life.
