About Alberto
Clients meet him for practical help with problems at work, struggles with intimacy and relationships, and issues tied to addiction or trauma. He also supports people facing parenting challenges, coping with aging or caregiver stress, and those working through family-of-origin concerns. He uses approaches that focus on thoughts, behavior, and personal narrative to guide work in these areas.
Alberto favors clear, goal-oriented work that leads to noticeable changes between sessions. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more workable options. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and Narrative Therapy to reframe painful life stories.
Many people come to him wanting short-term relief and concrete strategies they can use right away. He helps set achievable steps and checks progress each week. He balances practical tools with space to process feelings that come up during change.
He holds a Master’s-level social work credential and is licensed in Massachusetts and New Hampshire as LCSW and LICSW. Sessions are offered in English and provided through video, phone, chat, or messaging to fit different needs.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Alberto uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems that respond to step-by-step practice. Motivational Interviewing is another tool he uses to draw out a person's own reasons for change and to build momentum for new habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. That choice is collaborative and may shift as progress is made or new needs emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face discussion and skills practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other daily demands while keeping consistent momentum toward goals.
