About Adrian

Adrian Quintero is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people find meaning and balance. Adrian works with adults facing grief, anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD challenges, and stress from caregiving. Their approach aims to make talking about hard things feel straightforward and respectful.

Adrian blends existential ideas with attachment-focused work to help people name what matters to them. Sessions often look at values, identity, and how past relationships shape current reactions.

Background and approach

Practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness are used when helpful to manage symptoms and build new habits. People meet a therapist who listens without judgment and who guides conversations at the client’s pace. Adrian uses a client-centered stance to follow each person’s concerns and priorities.

This means sessions are guided by what matters most to the individual rather than a fixed agenda. Adrian has three years of professional experience and holds a California LMFT, which is a license for marriage and family therapy in that state.

They offer support for a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, relationship and communication problems, and questions around gender and sexual identity. Therapy with Adrian is collaborative. Together they clarify goals, try practical exercises, and check what feels useful.

The aim is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and a stronger sense of direction.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Approach-focused care delivered online

Adrian draws from existential therapy to help people clarify values, face life transitions, and find meaning when things feel overwhelming. Existential work centers on personal choice, responsibility, and making sense of loss or uncertainty. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating to others and themselves.

Adrian also uses client-centered methods, which means conversations follow the client's lead and goals. Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will listen to concerns, try different techniques, and adjust based on what the client finds most helpful.

Online offerings include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone works when a session needs a simpler setup or lower bandwidth, live chat lets people check in with brief messages, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and allow therapy to fit into busy or changing routines.
