Alfred Borrelli

Alfred Borrelli is a licensed counselor who draws on forty years of clinical experience to help people manage anger and other strong emotions. He is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) practicing in New Jersey. He focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier day to day.

He helps with stress and anxiety, depression, grief, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Addictions and sleeping problems are also part of his work. He pays attention to mood disorders, bipolar concerns, and attention-related struggles when they affect daily life.

Alfred uses approaches that include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In sessions he listens for what’s getting in the way, then works with each person to set manageable goals. He treats the person as the expert on their own life and helps them build on their strengths.

His style centers on straightforward conversation and practical tools. He can help people understand triggers, practice different responses when anger rises, and reduce behaviors linked to addiction or compulsions. He also supports people coping with grief and loss, and those trying to steady unstable moods.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, involves processing distressing memories while following a guided pattern of eye movements or other bilateral stimulation. It is often used for post-traumatic stress and intense trauma-related memories. Motivational Interviewing focuses on drawing out a person's own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation for steps like reducing substance use or changing behavior.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to decide which methods to try. This remains a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as progress is tracked.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce time spent commuting, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find remote sessions help them stick to regular appointments and practice strategies in real-time between sessions.
