About Reynaldo

Reynaldo Ortiz-Maldonado is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Wisconsin with three years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, and trauma. Reynaldo also addresses relationship patterns that start in childhood, such as attachment and abandonment concerns, and he is able to converse in English and Spanish.

He focuses on how family of origin patterns show up in adult life. That might look like repeated conflict, difficulty committing, problems with control, or feeling stuck in codependent dynamics. He talks through these patterns and helps people notice how early roles and expectations still influence choices now.

Sessions often cover concrete problems first, like panic, mood changes, or the practical effects of caregiver stress. He also makes space for sexual concerns and nontraditional relationship structures, including kink and BDSM topics, without judgment. Reynaldo pays attention to dissociation, identity questions, and the practical side of separation and divorce.

His work uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to build skills, increase insight, and support behavior change. He aims for a straightforward style that names patterns and tests small, manageable changes between sessions. Reynaldo explains options and helps people pick what fits their situation.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Reynaldo describes his work as rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people change patterns and manage symptoms. One common approach focuses on identifying and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. This method is helpful for panic, stress, and ADHD-related difficulties by teaching concrete skills and steps to test between sessions.

Another approach emphasizes understanding attachment and family of origin patterns. That work looks at how early roles or expectations affect current relationships and decisions, and it helps people try different ways of relating in real life. This can be useful for issues like abandonment worries, codependency, or commitment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Reynaldo collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Ask about current formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire and set up a first session.
