About Brad
Brad Maliszewski is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Michigan with 25 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are stressed, anxious, or struggling with relationship and family concerns. He also works with issues around parenting, intimacy, self-esteem, anger, and major life changes.
Brad focuses on practical, clear steps people can try between sessions. He often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. He also draws on client-centered listening and psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns that repeat over time.
Clients often bring blended family issues, communication problems, divorce or separation concerns, and situations involving guilt, shame, or infidelity. Brad talks through what is happening now and looks at how past experiences influence current relationships. This makes it easier to pick specific skills to practice and habits to change.
Sessions emphasize straightforward communication skills, problem-solving for family conflicts, and strategies for reducing intense emotions like anger or isolation. He helps people break larger problems into small, manageable steps they can try between meetings. The work mixes talking about meaning with concrete behavior experiments.
People who want clear structure and practical techniques find this approach useful. The focus is on relearning patterns, improving communication, and building routines that support daily functioning. Prospective clients can expect a blend of thought-focused and relationship-focused methods used in a steady, task-oriented way.
How CBT and relationship approaches work online
Brad uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior experiments. CBT focuses on concrete skills for anxiety, stress, and mood by changing thinking and actions. Client-Centered Therapy provides reflective listening and acceptance to help people feel heard while they decide what changes to try. The Gottman Method brings specific tools for communication and conflict management that are useful when relationship patterns are a primary concern.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Brad will collaborate with each person to compare methods and pick what fits their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean starting with CBT skills, adding relationship-focused tools, or exploring earlier patterns with psychodynamic ideas.
