About Adrian
Adrian Lory is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas. He brings eight years of experience and a straightforward, down-to-earth style to sessions. Adrian focuses on building a practical plan that fits each person he works with and aims to be both supportive and clear in the room.
He trained at St. Edwards University and earned a Master of Arts in Counseling in 2012. That academic background informs his clinical work and guides how he structures sessions and goals.
How Adrian works
Adrian emphasizes empathy and a collaborative relationship as the foundation for change. Adrian works to help people find balance when life feels out of sorts. He talks with clients about balancing kindness and strength, openness and clarity, and relaxation and alertness.
This helps guide decisions about when to offer support and when to offer challenge. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Adrian invites candid feedback throughout therapy so adjustments can be made as needed.
He prefers clear communication about what is and is not helpful during the work. People seek Adrian’s help for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, addictions, LGBT-related issues, family matters, and trauma or abuse. He aims to design a therapy that really fits each person’s needs and situation.

Approaches that guide online therapy and flexible care
Adrian draws on a few evidence-based approaches that are useful for everyday problems. One approach focuses on building a strong, collaborative relationship where the therapist and client set clear goals and track progress together; this helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by keeping work practical and targeted. Another approach centers on balancing support and challenge - offering empathy while also encouraging new skills and changes in behavior - which is helpful for self-esteem, relationship concerns, and addiction-related goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adrian will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust technique as therapy progresses. He invites candid feedback so the plan can be changed when needed, making the process collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people juggling busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client connect face to face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can fit into a tight schedule or when a lower-bandwidth option is helpful. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection, and brief coping support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and adaptable to daily life.
