About Adrian
Adrian Quintero is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California. Adrian offers straightforward, compassionate care for people facing identity questions, grief, low self-esteem, ADHD, stress, and anxiety. Sessions aim to help clients make sense of what they are feeling and find practical ways to cope.
Adrian draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That perspective is paired with client-centered listening to keep the conversation grounded in each person’s experience.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral tools are used when people want concrete ways to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Adrian has three years of clinical experience working with issues common to LGBT people, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, and compassion fatigue. Adrian also helps with family-of-origin concerns, communication problems, and challenges tied to caregiving or hospice and end-of-life situations.
Therapy sessions focus on building insight and practical skills. Adrian encourages people to notice patterns that cause pain and to practice different choices in everyday life. The approach is collaborative - clients set goals and Adrian offers techniques and perspectives to reach them.
Sessions are conducted in English and tailored to each person’s needs. Adrian emphasizes an affirming, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through hard experiences and take steps toward feeling more grounded and capable.

Online support
Attachment-informed and skills-based online therapy
Adrian combines attachment-based perspectives with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, relationship struggles, and attachment issues. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience with nonjudgmental listening, useful for building trust and exploring identity. Cognitive behavioral techniques offer concrete tools to change harmful thinking and practice new behaviors when managing stress, ADHD symptoms, or mood changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adrian collaborates with each person to identify goals and tries methods that fit their needs and preferences. That means adjusting the balance of attachment exploration, empathic listening, and skills practice based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work well for check-ins. Live chat and text let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges when that fits a schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
