More about Adan

  • 12 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with over 12 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, family conflict, career challenges, and lack of motivation.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral and solution focused. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Adan is a great listener and provides professional advice that I have implemented into my daily duties in my career. I also feel that we are close in age which helps affirm or contradict my views on coworkers. I would, and have already, highly recommend Adan and BetterHelp to others.

Adan has completely transformed my perspective on therapy. In just one session, Adan managed to create a safe and welcoming environment that I had been longing for throughout my three years of therapy. I’ve very excited to heal and grow.

I’d never tried therapy to manage my anxiety symptoms, and Adan has been a caring and helpful partner in my journey to better mental health. He has helped me recognize and identify those triggers, and given me tools to calm my racing thoughts.

A Life-Changing Experience with Adan - A Highly Recommended Therapist When I first started my sessions with Adan, I was in a truly dark place. Depression weighed heavily on me, and my mental health was at an all-time low. I can't express enough how grateful I am for having Adan as my therapist during those challenging times. Over the course of 3-4 months, Adan patiently guided me through my struggles, providing invaluable support, understanding, and insights that enabled me to gradually regain control over my life. His professional expertise and empathetic approach were essential in helping me confront and work through my issues. What truly sets Adan apart is his ability to create a safe and nurturing space where I felt comfortable opening up and exploring my thoughts and feelings. With his guidance, I learned to reframe my perspective on various aspects of my life, including work, writing, and relationships. This has been a key factor in my ability to cope with challenges and maintain a positive mindset. Today, I am in a much healthier mental and emotional state, and I attribute much of this progress to Adan's expertise, dedication, and genuine care for his clients. I wholeheartedly recommend Adan to anyone seeking a therapist who can make a profound and lasting impact on their well-being.

Adan is as professional as it gets. He's kind, patient, open minded, and always provides a unique perspective to your situation.

Adan is a great therapist and a very smart, insightful individual. He knows exactly how to read my body language and phrases and guide me to the best outcome. I've learned to challenge negative thoughts and to associate feelings with tasks in order to feel accomplished while cleaning up my life literally and figuratively. I was weary of the process in the beginning but I find our conversations becoming more familiar and friendly as we've continued my journey. I'm very glad I took the leap of faith to get help and be a better individual overall and I'm very satisfied with how far I've come and how much I've learned. I definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to find themselves in a better headspace and also improve their daily lives. I've made strides and I'm excited to continue moving forward with this process. Thank you for everything and I'll see you next session.
