Adan Montalvo, LPC

Adan Montalvo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress and anxiety. He keeps sessions direct and respectful, and focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings. He frames work around each person's goals so conversations stay focused on what matters now.

He uses a warm, interactive style and avoids labeling. That means conversations are centered on the person's experience rather than on diagnoses. He listens for patterns in thinking and behavior, then helps people test small changes that can reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Adan draws from cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused approaches to shape brief, goal-oriented plans. He also uses client-centered and narrative ideas to make room for each person's story and values. Together these methods support clearer thinking, better problem solving, and steadier mood regulation.

Across more than 12 years as a psychotherapist, Adan has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, low self-esteem, relationship stress, grief, addiction, and life transitions. He helps people strengthen communication, manage anger, and cope with caregiver strain and compassion fatigue.

People who choose him can expect collaborative planning, straightforward feedback, and homework that connects therapy to everyday life. If someone is ready to try a different path, he offers supportive guidance and practical tools to move forward.

How his approaches shape online therapy

Adan draws on cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy to guide online work. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, and offers practical strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes clear, short-term goals and small, doable steps that build momentum and reduce overwhelm.

He also incorporates client-centered and narrative elements to make space for each person's story and values. Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will collaborate with the client to decide which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying one rigid method.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to support coping skills practice, problem solving, and follow-up between longer in-person meetings when that suits the client.
