About Brad

Brad Maliszewski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who blends practical strategies with an empathic, client-focused stance. With 25 years of clinical work, he emphasizes structured methods like cognitive behavioral techniques alongside relational and insight-oriented approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions.

Background and approach

He directs attention to relationship and family concerns, including communication breakdowns, blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, and intimacy-related issues. His practice also addresses self-esteem, parenting challenges, feelings of isolation or loneliness, and struggles with guilt, shame, or purpose.

Clients encounter a therapeutic space aimed at clarifying patterns, developing coping skills, and strengthening connections. Brad combines goal-oriented tools and reflective exploration to tailor support around each person's circumstances.

Whether facing family conflict, infidelity, or general coping with change, he offers steady guidance intended to help clients identify options and build resilience over time.

Online Options Using Cognitive and Relationship-Focused Approaches

Brad often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teach practical skills for managing anxiety, stress, and anger, which can be applied in day-to-day situations. Client-centered therapy forms another pillar of his work, emphasizing empathetic listening and collaboration to help people clarify priorities, process emotions, and strengthen self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process rather than a preset formula. The therapist will work with each person to determine which combination of methods best matches their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Brad is offered through a range of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity during life transitions. These options provide flexibility for people who need remote access to a licensed professional and support consistent engagement in the therapeutic process.
