Alfred Borrelli, LPC, LMHC

Alfred Borrelli is a licensed counselor who brings 40 years of experience to sessions. He is an LPC and an LMHC who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits related to stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and depression. He aims to help people take small steps that change daily patterns and make life feel more manageable.

He begins by listening to each person's story and recognizing the strengths they already have. Alfred treats clients as the experts on their lives and helps them build on what works. He uses practical conversation and focused techniques to address patterns that interfere with day-to-day functioning.

His work includes attention to addictive behavior, mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, and challenges like sleep disruption and anger. He also supports those coping with obsessive thoughts, panic episodes, phobias, and trauma-related symptoms. The goal is to reduce harmful cycles and increase coping choices in everyday life.

Alfred draws on methods that include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic ideas, and trauma-focused therapy. He adapts these approaches to what each person needs and prefers. The emphasis is on practical change rather than labels.

Sessions are offered in English and Alfred accepts international clients. He encourages people who are nervous about starting to recognize the courage in taking a first step and to use that momentum to schedule an initial meeting.

How Alfred’s approaches translate to online therapy

EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, uses guided attention and memory processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related reactions. It can help people who have lingering distress after trauma or abuse by processing difficult memories in a paced way.

Motivational interviewing focuses on exploring a person’s own goals and values to support change. It is often used when someone is ambivalent about changing behaviors like substance use, and it helps build internal motivation for new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alfred will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. He adjusts pacing and techniques based on what is helpful in early sessions.

The practical advantages of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time, which can make consistent care easier to keep. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that better match a work break or caregiving schedule.
