About Alberto
Alberto Figueroa is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Texas with 12 years of experience. He speaks English and Spanish and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges related to identity and relationships. Alberto aims to meet people where they are and create a straightforward path forward.
He uses clear conversation and practical tools to address worry, grief, self-esteem, and motivation. Sessions are shaped to each person’s needs rather than following a single formula.
Background and approach
He also supports people facing addictions, anger, sleep and eating concerns, and major life changes. Alberto draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide work in sessions. He combines skill-building with reflective dialogue so people can apply what they learn between meetings.
Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies appear when they fit the situation. Practice often includes short-term goals and longer-term coping strategies. Conversations cover practical steps - managing difficult feelings, improving communication, and rebuilding routines.
Alberto pays attention to stress from caregiving, medical issues, aging, and workplace demands. People who come for help with identity, intimacy, or complicated loss will find a calm and direct style. Alberto emphasizes respect and sensitivity while working at a steady, solution-focused pace.
He invites new clients to take the first step and begin a plan that fits their life.
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on values and small committed steps to live a more meaningful life and can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often suits worry, mood problems, and sleep or eating concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they try strategies, review what helps, and shift course when something is not working.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or simpler check-ins, and live chat or text messaging for quick updates and shorter reflections. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into work breaks, care schedules, or when travel is difficult. The mix of live and messaging options supports steady progress while accommodating different days and needs.
