About Brad
Brad Maliszewski is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. He focuses on practical ways to cope with family conflicts, parenting strain, and changes that can feel overwhelming. He uses straightforward conversation to uncover what’s most stuck or painful.
Sessions often include clear tools for calming anxiety, improving communication, and handling anger so daily life feels more manageable.
Background and approach
He also addresses intimacy issues and self-esteem in ways people can apply between appointments. Brad has worked with many people facing divorce, blended family challenges, and the fallout from infidelity. He helps clients sort through guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
The emphasis is on real problems and small steps toward better routines and relationships. His approach blends client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns that repeat. He also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship work when relevant.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. People meet with him by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. He guides goal-setting and practical change while keeping explanations clear and jargon-free.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can lead the pace of change; it is useful for stress, self-esteem, and sorting relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, anger, and coping with life transitions. The Gottman Method offers practical exercises and communication strategies specifically aimed at improving relationship interactions and managing conflicts.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for interactive skill work and reading body language. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can serve as shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or a way to fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options aim to make starting and continuing therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
