About Enrique
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 10 years of clinical experience. Enrique Villarreal focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career concerns, and life transitions using cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and narrative approaches.
Enrique draws on a background that includes a Master of Education in Counseling from Colorado State University. He moved into counseling after a decade in graphic design and a personal shift away from burnout and constant stress. That experience informs his attention to work-life interactions and how career issues affect mental health.
Sessions center on practical steps rather than abstract theory. Enrique mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Solution-Focused methods and Narrative Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking, set achievable goals, and reframe their life stories. He brings a career development lens to conversations about relationships and mental health.
Clients may work on coping with anxiety, grief, anger, addiction concerns, or compassion fatigue. Additional areas include caregiver stress, fatherhood issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, and workplace challenges. He also supports people facing multicultural or LGBT-related concerns.
Enrique emphasizes straightforward skill-building: clarifying values, practicing new behaviors, and adjusting thinking that gets in the way. He also uses motivational interviewing techniques when people need help finding internal motivation to change. To start, he asks people to describe how work and personal life are affecting each other so goals can be set together.

How Enrique applies core approaches in online work
Enrique commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in his online work. CBT focuses on identifying thinking patterns that increase anxiety or stress and then testing new behaviors to change outcomes. Motivational Interviewing concentrates on clarifying personal reasons for change and building internal motivation when ambivalence is present.Narrative Therapy is also part of his toolbox. It helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and rewrite parts that limit choices, which can be useful for career transitions and identity-related concerns.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Enrique will discuss goals and try methods that fit the person and the problem. He adjusts the mix of CBT, motivational techniques, and narrative work based on what helps the client make progress.
