About Alberto
Alberto Figueroa is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas with 12 years of experience. He focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, motivation and self-esteem struggles. He speaks English and Spanish and uses straightforward, respectful language during sessions.
His approach is warm and nonjudgmental, aimed at building trust quickly so clients can begin working on what matters to them. Alberto centers conversations on each person’s real life.
Background and approach
He listens first, then helps set small, doable goals. He adapts what he does to fit the client rather than using one fixed method. Sessions often include learning new skills, practicing different ways to think about problems, and steady check-ins on progress.
He draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those methods are used to address a wide range of concerns such as relationships, parenting, addiction, trauma, and coping with life changes. Alberto aims to keep techniques simple and usable between sessions.
Many clients come because they need help managing emotions, improving daily routines like sleep and eating, or finding motivation during hard times. The work is collaborative - he helps people weigh options and try changes without pressure. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules.
Starting often begins with one short step and a plan for the next. Alberto supports small wins and practical progress while respecting each person’s pace and goals.
Therapeutic approaches suited for online care
Alberto often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then focus on actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right method is part of the work. He will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. Together they choose or blend approaches and adjust as progress is made, keeping the plan flexible and collaborative.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into busy lives. These options let people connect from home, continue work while traveling, or use brief check-ins when that feels most helpful. The formats support steady practice of skills between sessions and make ongoing support more accessible for different schedules and needs.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
