About Alfred
Alfred Borrelli is an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor and an LMHC, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, practicing for 40 years in New Jersey. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and family concerns. He also lists help for sleeping problems, anger, career issues, bipolar disorder, and ADHD among his core areas.
He works from the view that people know their own story and already have strengths to draw on. Sessions are straightforward and direct. He helps clients name what is difficult and try practical steps to reduce symptoms and regain daily rhythm.
His background includes long clinical experience across behavioral health settings. That history shaped a mix of approaches he uses depending on the person and problem. He brings methods that target trauma, motivation for change, and longer-term patterns in how someone relates to themselves and others.
In practice he may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic methods, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Those approaches are used to address things like post-traumatic stress, addictive behavior, recurring low mood, and recurring anxiety symptoms.
Clients can expect focused conversation, practical coping strategies, and attention to how patterns of thought and feeling affect day-to-day life. Alfred encourages people to take small steps and track what helps. He accepts international clients and works in English.
How sessions work
How his approaches work in online sessions
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people process traumatic memories so those memories feel less overwhelming. It often focuses on specific distressing events and their emotional impact.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps a person clarify their reasons for change. It is useful for addictions, ambivalence about treatment, and building momentum toward concrete goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That process is collaborative and can shift over time as needs change.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent alongside work, parenting, and other daily responsibilities.
