About Alfred

Alfred Borrelli blends a psychodynamic perspective with trauma-informed methods to help people navigate longstanding patterns and acute difficulties. He holds LPC and LMHC credentials and brings 40 years of clinical experience to work with concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and ADHD.

Background and approach

His approach recognizes each person as the expert of their life while offering clinical skills to address disruptive patterns and painful memories. Drawing on techniques like EMDR and Motivational Interviewing alongside trauma-focused methods, he helps clients unpack emotional injuries, strengthen coping skills, and explore motivations for change.

He also addresses a wide range of mood and behavioral issues including bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic, personality-related difficulties, and substance-related problems. Alfred aims to meet people where they are, validate their strengths, and support practical steps toward improved functioning and resilience.

How psychodynamic and trauma-informed approaches work online

Alfred uses EMDR to help process distressing memories by pairing focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation, an approach often used for trauma-related symptoms. He also employs Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative method that helps clients clarify their goals and strengthen intrinsic motivation for change, which can be especially useful for addictions and ambivalence.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with clients to assess symptoms, personal goals, and preferences, then adapts techniques over time so therapy remains responsive to what helps most. This collaborative stance supports practical decision making about which methods to prioritize during online work.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or different time zones. These remote formats allow ongoing access to licensed professionals and make it possible to continue psychotherapy without the need to travel to an office.
