About Adan
Adan Montalvo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD-related concerns. He writes in a direct, respectful way and focuses on practical steps clients can use each week. Adan aims to make the first conversation feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
He uses an interactive, warm style in sessions and avoids labeling people by diagnosis.
Background and approach
Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs, with clear goals and small actions to try between meetings. Many clients work on day-to-day coping, sleep and eating problems, or motivation and career decisions. Adan draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused methods to help people change unhelpful patterns and build useful habits.
He also uses client-centered and narrative approaches to listen closely to each person’s story and values. That mix lets him shift between practical techniques and deeper meaning work as needed. Over 12 years as a therapist have included support for trauma, grief, addiction, intimacy concerns, and a range of family and communication issues.
He works with people dealing with caregiver stress, codependency, abandonment and attachment challenges, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used so scheduling can be arranged to fit the client’s situation.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and meeting each person where they are. The therapist focuses on understanding your experience and supporting your own pace of change, which helps with issues like low self-esteem, grief, and relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses focused exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and many ADHD-related struggles where routines and planning matter.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than assuming a single method will fit everyone.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and text messaging make it straightforward to check in between sessions or fit short coaching-style conversations into a busy day. These options support steady progress while fitting therapy around work, caregiving, and other time demands.
