About Alfred

Alfred Borrelli is a licensed professional counselor who draws on 40 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical care for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and depression. Alfred emphasizes respect for each person’s story and strengths.

He aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and humane. In sessions he listens for what matters most to the person in front of him. He uses trauma-focused methods and EMDR alongside motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas to address painful memories, patterns, and blocks to change.

Background and approach

This mix lets him shift between focused skills work and deeper discussion about life history. People come for a range of concerns, including sleep problems, anger, career stress, mood disorders, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors. He also works with issues such as codependency, substance use, panic, phobias, and post-traumatic stress.

Alfred describes treatment as a step-by-step process that is paced to the client’s needs. Sessions aim to build practical coping strategies while also identifying the beliefs and patterns that keep problems alive. He encourages clients to notice their strengths and to try small experiments between sessions.

Alfred’s approach is steady and collaborative, focused on helping people regain more control in daily life. He practices in New Jersey and meets people through online formats. Sessions are delivered in English and can include video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Online support

How EMDR and Trauma-Focused Care Work Online

Alfred uses EMDR to help people process difficult memories and reduce the way those memories interrupt daily life. EMDR involves guided attention and processing to lessen the emotional charge of past events, which can help with post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and lingering trauma symptoms. He also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to identify how traumatic experiences affect thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and to build coping strategies that reduce reactivity and improve functioning.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss options such as EMDR, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic work and recommend a path based on your goals, symptoms, and comfort level. Together you can try techniques and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for fuller conversation and EMDR-style work when that is appropriate, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, geographic distance, and different communication preferences.
