About Alfred
Alfred Borrelli is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New Jersey with 40 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, sleep problems, anger, and career concerns. He also works with mood and attention issues such as bipolar disorder and ADHD.
He begins by treating the person as the expert on their own life. He looks for strengths that people already use when things are hard. In early sessions he listens for how anger shows up day to day - snapping at loved ones, holding resentment, or getting stuck at work - and he helps the person describe what they want to change.
His background includes long experience with trauma-focused methods and psychodynamic ideas about how past experiences affect present behavior. He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Motivational Interviewing when those approaches fit the concern. Those tools are used to process difficult memories and to support motivation for change, not as promises of a cure.
Sessions focus on practical skills alongside talking through patterns that keep problems repeating. People can expect a direct, steady approach that mixes short-term tools and deeper work when needed. Alfred encourages small changes that reduce tension and leave fewer triggers for angry reactions.
He works in English and accepts international clients. To begin a session people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first meeting through the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Alfred uses EMDR to help people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge. EMDR involves guided attention while recalling upsetting events, and it is often used for post-traumatic stress and other trauma responses.He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find and strengthen their reasons for change. This is a conversational method that supports decision-making when someone is ambivalent about changing behaviors like substance use or other habits that increase anger and conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alfred will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and will suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
