About Adrian

Adrian Torres Ortiz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with 16 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, depression, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish.

Adrian focuses on clear, direct conversation and practical strategies. He adjusts the way he talks and plans treatment to fit each person's situation. He does not present therapy as a one-size-fits-all solution; instead he helps people decide which steps are useful for them.

Many clients come with relationship strain tied to stepfamily life, co-parenting tensions, or changes after divorce and separation. Adrian can help individuals sort through communication problems, loyalty conflicts, and the stress of blended family issues. He also addresses related concerns such as isolation, body image, and codependency.

In sessions he aims for straightforward goals and small, measurable changes. Expect to talk about what you want to change and try concrete tools to manage mood, worry, and anger. Progress is reviewed regularly so plans can shift as needed.

Adrian believes starting therapy takes effort, and he supports people through the first steps. If you prefer Spanish, he can conduct sessions in that language. International clients are not accepted at this time.

Approaches and how online sessions work

Adrian uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in session. One common approach focuses on mood and behavior strategies to reduce anxiety and depression by identifying unhelpful patterns and testing new ways of acting. Another approach emphasizes practical skills for anger and stress management such as breathing, pacing, and short behavioral experiments to test what changes help in daily life.

Finding the right way to work is collaborative. Adrian will discuss options and help decide which techniques match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is and isn't working.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a routine. If you prefer sessions in Spanish mention that when you sign up. To begin, use the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
