About Alberto
Alberto Chang is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of psychotherapy experience. He holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and practices from New Hampshire. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and career-related concerns.
He aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure. In sessions he creates a calm, open space for honest talk. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
He listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and looks for small, practical ways to shift them. He uses clear language and keeps goals realistic so progress feels tangible. Alberto draws on several proven approaches.
He often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about making changes. Narrative Therapy is used to reframe painful stories people carry about themselves.
His style blends direct feedback with warmth. He helps clients identify specific next steps between sessions. That can include new habits, communication practices, or experiments to test different ways of coping.
The emphasis is on workable change rather than abstract insight. People who value a practical, steady process tend to find his approach useful. Sessions can address relationship and family concerns alongside individual stressors.
He meets people where they are and helps them build manageable routines and clearer choices.
Approaches that translate to online care
Alberto commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in his online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that contribute to stress or low mood and then practicing new ways of thinking and acting. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and daily stressors. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change by clarifying values, exploring ambivalence, and building internal motivation for concrete steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with practical CBT exercises, shifting to motivational strategies when readiness is low, or blending techniques over time to match changing needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue support between in-person visits. The variety also lets people choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable while working toward clear, practical changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
Narrative Therapy
Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
