About Adan
Adan Montalvo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people cope with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, substance concerns, and life changes. He offers a straightforward, respectful style designed to make hard conversations easier to start. Sessions aim to help people feel more steady and hopeful about next steps.
He uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going. He blends this with solution-focused work to set clear, manageable goals and build momentum.
How Adan works
Narrative techniques are used when helpful to rethink painful stories from the past. Adan brings 12 years of experience as a psychotherapist. His approach is warm and interactive, and he avoids stigmatizing labels when talking about struggles.
He listens for what matters most to each person and adjusts the conversation to fit their needs. In sessions he focuses on skills people can use between meetings, such as coping strategies for emotions, steps for improving communication, and simple behavioral changes for sleep or eating concerns. He also supports those facing grief, trauma, relationship strain, career setbacks, and caregiver stress.
People meet him for a mix of short-term problem solving and longer work on deeper patterns. His goal is to help people gain clearer choices and more control over daily life. When someone is ready to make a change, he works with them to plan practical, achievable steps.

Online support options
Approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person's unique experience, helping them feel heard and guiding conversations at the person's pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether client-centered listening, CBT tools, or brief solution-focused steps make the most sense. That decision is based on goals, personal preference, and what shows progress in early sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, coping reminders, and ongoing goal tracking between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while still working with licensed professionals.
