About Brad
Brad Maliszewski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 25 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. He also helps with parenting, intimacy issues, anger, and coping with life changes.
Brad focuses on practical communication skills and realistic steps people can try between sessions. He often addresses blended family issues such as merging routines, loyalty questions, and co-parenting friction. He also works with separation and divorce-related adjustments and the isolation that can follow major transitions.
In sessions he combines client-centered conversation with tools from cognitive behavioral approaches. That mix lets people talk through feelings while testing small behavior changes. He also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship interaction patterns and uses psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns when helpful.
Brad keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. He helps people clarify what matters to them, practice new ways of speaking to others, and plan concrete next steps. Many clients come with communication problems, guilt or shame, or uncertainty about life purpose, and Brad focuses on skills they can use right away.
With a long career in counseling, Brad brings steady practical experience rather than quick fixes. He offers clear explanations of methods and works at a calm pace. To begin, people are encouraged to review online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Brad commonly combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and the Gottman Method. Client-Centered Therapy centers on open conversation and reflective listening to help people clarify what matters to them and make their own decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior experiments to reduce anxiety or improve coping. The Gottman Method looks at interaction patterns and teaches concrete skills for clearer communication and reduced conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively with each person to match techniques to goals and preferences. That means checking what is helping, adjusting methods, and choosing practical skills that can be practiced between sessions.
