Alberto Figueroa, LCSW

Alberto Figueroa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of professional experience in Texas. He focuses on practical steps people can use to manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, and issues related to LGBT identity. He speaks English and Spanish and aims to meet people where they are in their lives.

Alberto takes a straightforward, respectful approach. He listens first and then helps build a plan that fits each person's needs. Sessions balance talking things through with simple tools that can be used between meetings.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people move toward their values, and Client-Centered methods to keep the pace set by the client. Mindfulness and DBT skills are introduced when they match the goals.

Alberto has supported people dealing with addiction, relationship struggles, trauma, sleep and eating concerns, parenting stress, career changes, and chronic health or caregiver burden. He helps clients work through life transitions and the emotional fallout that follows loss or major change.

Therapy with him typically blends short-term strategies and longer-term skill building. He encourages small, achievable steps and checks in on progress. If you want a calm, practical collaborator who speaks Spanish or English, he may be a good fit.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Alberto commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT focuses on small, concrete changes and homework that people can practice between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another approach he draws on to help people clarify what matters to them and take values-based action even when feelings are hard.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He talks with each person about goals, preferences, and which methods feel most useful. That collaborative process allows him to blend techniques - for example pairing CBT skill work with mindfulness practice - so therapy matches the client rather than the other way around.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video works well when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Chat and messaging let people share thoughts between appointments and get support without scheduling a full call.
