About Adrian
Adrian Torres Ortiz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with 16 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He speaks English and Spanish and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for anyone reaching out.
Adrian favors a straightforward, respectful approach. He listens closely and adapts conversations to each person's situation. Sessions focus on real-life strategies that people can try between meetings to reduce tension and improve day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
He also supports people facing life transitions and related struggles such as blended family issues, body image, codependency, commitment problems, and communication difficulties. Additional areas of attention include coping after disasters, immigration-related challenges, fatherhood concerns, and questions about life purpose. Adrian works with people dealing with isolation, loss, or the effects of family of origin problems and domestic violence.
He builds a plan together with each person, adjusting techniques to match goals and progress. The plan is practical and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. People can expect clear, compassionate conversations and realistic goals.
Adrian emphasizes small, measurable steps that add up to change. He encourages anyone who is ready to start to take the next step to get matched and schedule a first session.

Evidence-based approaches for online care
Adrian uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional regulation. One common technique emphasizes learning how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect so people can test and change unhelpful thinking patterns; this helps with anxiety, low mood, and anger. Another approach centers on teaching coping and stress-management skills such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step behavior changes to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Adrian collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adjusts methods as progress unfolds. He treats the choice of techniques as a shared decision rather than a fixed plan, checking in regularly and shifting strategies when needed.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, shorter updates, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats give flexibility for people balancing work, family, or travel while keeping therapy consistent.
