About Reynaldo
Reynaldo Ortiz-Maldonado is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with three years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and addiction, and he also focuses on life purpose and identity questions.
He helps clients talk through symptoms like panic, intrusive thoughts, and mood shifts. He addresses patterns such as shame, isolation, attachment and abandonment concerns. He also supports people dealing with divorce, grief, caregiver strain, and difficulties around sexuality and alternative relationship structures.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Reynaldo uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to build insight and reduce burdens that get in the way of daily life. He invites clients to look at behavior patterns, emotional reactions, and the situations that keep problems cycling.
He pays attention to relationship dynamics and how attachment or codependency can affect choices. He works with people wrestling with commitment, control, dependent personality patterns, and body image or sexual concerns including kink and BDSM culture. Reynaldo also addresses co-occurring issues such as dissociation, domestic violence history, and disruptive mood symptoms.
Reynaldo offers services in English and Spanish. He asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to match goals and schedule an initial session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Reynaldo works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and on processing difficult experiences. Cognitive approaches help people recognize and change thought patterns that increase anxiety or depression, and they include practical skills to manage daily symptoms and reduce avoidance.Trauma-informed methods focus on understanding how past harm affects current reactions. These approaches emphasize pacing, grounding, and building tolerance for difficult memories so clients can regain more control in everyday situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Reynaldo will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to choose techniques that fit each person. He treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts the plan based on progress and feedback.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking. Please check current session options when you choose to start. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use breaks or evenings more easily. These practical benefits can help people keep therapy consistent while working toward clearer priorities and better day-to-day functioning.
