    About Alfred

    Alfred Borrelli is a licensed counselor who emphasizes a client-centered, motivational approach to change. He uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to shift behavior. He brings 40 years of experience and a calm, straightforward manner to each session.

    He helps with stress and anxiety and supports people who are coping with depression. He also works with addictions, trauma and abuse, and grief. Other areas of focus include sleep problems, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and attention-deficit hyperactivity concerns.

    His background includes long experience in treating mood and trauma-related concerns. He draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at patterns that repeat over time. He also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when those fit a person's needs.

    Sessions are based on collaboration. He treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. The work is practical and aimed at small, steady steps rather than quick fixes.

    Alfred holds licenses as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC. He practices in New Jersey and talks with people in English. If someone wants to begin, he asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

  2. How Alfred’s approaches translate to online care

    Alfred commonly uses Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Focused Therapy in his work. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify their own goals and build motivation for change, which can be useful for addictions, mood concerns, and behavior shifts. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and reducing the impact of traumatic events, helping people develop coping skills and process difficult memories.

    Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about what feels most helpful, try approaches that match their goals, and adjust over time. Clients are invited to weigh in on what feels useful as sessions progress.

    Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy life. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and keep therapy consistent around work or caregiving duties. The profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking to make sure they match your needs.
