About Alfred
Alfred Borrelli is a licensed counselor who brings 40 years of experience to sessions. He is an LPC and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and he helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and phobias. He meets clients with a calm, straightforward approach and values each person's strengths.
He believes people know their own stories and uses that as a starting point. Sessions focus on practical steps for coping with distress and on identifying patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
He listens for what matters most to the person and helps shape goals that feel doable. Clinical tools include trauma-focused work and psychodynamic ideas that look at how past experiences affect current feelings. He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and motivational techniques to address painful memories and to support change.
These methods are applied flexibly to match the client's needs. Alfred has worked across many settings over four decades, gaining experience with addiction, mood disorders, panic, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and traumatic stress. He draws on that wide experience when a client wants guidance on next steps or a different approach.
Sessions are offered in English and he sees people in New Jersey. He invites people who are ready to begin to take the first step and complete a short questionnaire to find a scheduling fit.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing helps people process distressing memories by pairing focused attention with guided stimulation. It is often used for traumatic memories, panic, and post-traumatic stress symptoms and can be adapted for video or phone sessions.Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person's own reasons for change. It uses short, direct conversations to boost motivation for tackling addictions, substance problems, or behavior changes and works well through live chat or brief phone check-ins.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and preferences together and then suggest starting steps. If one method is not helpful, they will discuss alternatives and adjust the plan based on progress and comfort.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and differing needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for longer therapy work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging supports shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, or ongoing encouragement. These options help make consistent care more practical for many people.
