About Alberto
Alberto Figueroa is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of practice in Texas. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, motivation, and anger. He offers sessions in English and Spanish and aims to meet people where they are.
Alberto approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He builds a plan based on what the individual needs rather than a preset template. That plan is adjusted over time as goals and circumstances change.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and practical. He uses techniques that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavioral changes, and practice clearer communication. People learn skills to reduce intense feelings and manage daily stressors.
Alberto also supports people facing relationship stress, substance concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, and career transitions. He can help with trauma, attachment questions, and issues common in aging or caregiving roles. He encourages small steps and realistic goals.
The first session focuses on understanding immediate needs and what a successful outcome looks like. Follow-ups work toward measurable changes and coping tools people can use between sessions.

Approaches you can use in online sessions
Alberto uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood. That approach works well when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and tests small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like depression, anxiety, or anger. It emphasizes practical exercises and homework.Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates between sessions and fit support into busy days. These options aim to make it easier to keep up with therapy while juggling work, family, or travel.
