About Adrian

Adrian Torres Ortiz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with 16 years of experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Adrian focuses on practical conversation and clear goals. He listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different ways of responding. In sessions he discusses what happens day to day, what triggers strong reactions, and which small changes might make a difference.

He also addresses issues tied to relationships and life transitions. That includes blended family concerns, communication problems, fatherhood issues, divorce and separation, and family of origin matters. Adrian will talk through how these situations affect mood, behavior, and stress.

For people dealing with anger, he works on understanding the build-up and spotting early signs. He covers ways to lower immediate intensity and practices alternative responses so conflicts don’t escalate. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Adrian adapts the conversation and the plan to each person. He emphasizes respectful, direct discussion and practical steps you can use outside sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking path.

How Adrian uses common approaches in online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques here refer to practical methods that guide conversation and practice. One common approach focuses on identifying triggers and changing reactions. This involves tracking situations that raise anger or anxiety, noticing early signs, and rehearsing alternative responses that reduce escalation. Another useful technique emphasizes behavioral experiments and small practice steps. It breaks larger goals into short tasks you can try between sessions, then reviews what worked and what did not. This helps build new habits without overwhelming daily life. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adrian will collaborate with each person to choose which techniques to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts plans as progress is reviewed so the approach fits how the person responds. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about the available session types when you sign up. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so therapy fits around work or family commitments.
