About Adrian
Adrian Maldonado is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting pressure, and anger. Adrian also helps people facing trauma or abuse and those navigating mood issues like depression and bipolar concerns.
In sessions he focuses on clear, practical conversation. He listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating. Then he helps people try different ways of responding so situations feel more manageable. That includes looking at thoughts, behaviors, and the small choices that affect daily life.
Adrian adapts how he works to each person. He says the tone and pace of sessions depend on what someone needs right now. That might mean shorter check-ins, problem-solving around a specific situation, or deeper work over several weeks.
He also addresses related concerns that often come up alongside anger. These include sleep difficulty, low self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and addictive behaviors. Adrian notes other focuses such as hoarding, OCD-related behaviors, jealousy, and sexual compulsions when they are relevant to the person’s goals.
Appointments are intended to be straightforward and goal-minded. Adrian asks people to identify what they want to change and then maps out steps to try between sessions. He guides that process while keeping the conversation practical and focused on everyday improvements.
Approaches for managing anger in online sessions
Adrian works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and skills practice. One common approach looks at how thinking patterns influence feelings and actions and teaches practical ways to reframe or test those thoughts to reduce reactive responses. This helps when anger comes from assumptions or fast judgments.Another approach focuses on behavioral changes and skills training. That includes learning breathing or grounding routines, practicing communication steps, and rehearsing what to do in triggering moments. These skills aim to lower the intensity of emotional reactions and make different choices easier in real time.
Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. Adrian will work with the client to identify their goals and try methods that fit those goals and daily life. He adjusts the plan based on what works and what does not, so the client helps shape the approach.
