About Brad
Brad Maliszewski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 25 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and struggles with intimacy, self-esteem, parenting, anger, and life changes. Brad also helps clients dealing with blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation or loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
Brad focuses on straightforward conversation and practical tools. Sessions often center on identifying what is most pressing and testing small changes that make daily life easier. He uses a mix of approaches to match the person’s concerns rather than a single fixed method.
His work includes client-centered listening that helps people clarify what matters to them. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. When relationship patterns show up, he may use principles from the Gottman Method to address communication and connection issues.
Brad pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions, using psychodynamic ideas to uncover recurring themes that affect relationships and self-worth. He aims for practical steps after those discoveries, such as new communication habits, boundary-setting, or skills for managing anger and anxiety.
People who come for help after a breakup, major life change, or a period of feeling stuck can expect direct, steady work focused on day-to-day improvements. To begin, readers are prompted to use the site’s matching process and schedule a first session.
How Brad’s approaches are used in online sessions
Brad commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and helping people say what matters to them, useful for sorting out life purpose, relationship questions, and parenting stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful patterns.He may also use Gottman Method ideas when relationship communication is the main concern. Those ideas concentrate on improving how people talk, repair after conflict, and handle recurring issues. Together, these approaches give both immediate skills and a chance to understand long-term patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brad collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try based on needs, goals, and what feels workable in day-to-day life. That collaboration can include testing a CBT skill for a few sessions or shifting to more psychodynamic reflection if deeper patterns emerge.
Session formats are not specified in his biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people maintain continuity while addressing stress, relationships, and questions about life purpose.
