About Alfred

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New Jersey with 40 years of experience, Alfred Borrelli helps people work through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He also focuses on sleeping problems, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

Borrelli uses several clinical approaches to guide his work. He draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address traumatic memories. Motivational Interviewing helps when people struggle with change, especially around substance use. Psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches are used to understand patterns that keep problems active.

He frames the person as the expert in their own story. The therapist listens for strengths and builds on them while helping people face difficult feelings. Conversations are direct and aimed at practical shifts in behavior and coping.

Across decades of practice he has supported people dealing with complex mood and impulse issues, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, panic, phobias, personality concerns, and effects of traumatic brain injury. He also works with codependency and sex addiction when relevant to a person's goals.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; costs vary by location. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session via the See online therapy options button.

How EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic Work Online

EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories so they feel less intrusive. It involves guided attention and focused recollection to reduce the emotional charge of traumatic events and can be useful for post-traumatic stress and abuse-related difficulties.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It focuses on building motivation and setting small, achievable steps, which can be helpful for addictions and behavior change related to health or career goals.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring thoughts, feelings, and relationships that shape current behavior. It helps identify patterns developed over time so people can try different responses to long-standing problems like mood disorders or relationship conflicts.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and symptoms, then recommend methods that suit those needs. Clients and the therapist review progress and adjust the plan together.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets therapists use EMDR and motivational interviewing techniques adapted for remote conversation and pacing.
