Adrian Torres Ortiz, LPC

Adrian Torres Ortiz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with 16 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, loss of motivation, and depression. He also supports those coping with life changes and major transitions. Adrian speaks English and Spanish.

Adrian keeps sessions practical and respectful. He listens first, then tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation. He aims for clear steps you can try between sessions rather than long theory talks.

People come to him for help with relationship patterns, blended family stress, communication problems, and issues around commitment and codependency. He also supports individuals dealing with body image, fatherhood concerns, immigration stress, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.

Adrian has experience addressing more intense life events too, such as divorce, separation, domestic violence, and recovery after natural or human-caused disasters. He pays attention to family of origin dynamics and how they shape current choices and feelings.

His style is compassionate and down-to-earth. He will work with you to set goals that feel realistic and useful. If you decide to start, he asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire so scheduling can be arranged according to his availability.

Approaches that guide online work

Adrian uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear, practical steps. One common approach emphasizes managing strong emotions like anxiety and anger through skill-building and gradual practice. This helps when feelings become overwhelming and interfere with daily life.

Another approach centers on improving communication and relationship patterns. It breaks problems into manageable parts and practices new ways of speaking and responding, which can reduce friction in blended families and partnerships. Both approaches aim to make change feel achievable rather than theoretical.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Adrian works collaboratively to decide which methods match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. He will adjust the plan as progress and challenges become clearer.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and choose quieter surroundings that support focused conversation. It also offers flexibility for shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions depending on what best supports the client's goals.
