About Alberto
Alberto Figueroa is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Texas with 12 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and issues tied to motivation and self-esteem. He speaks both English and Spanish and works with a range of life challenges, including addictions and parenting concerns.
Alberto centers each session on respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He adapts conversations and plans to match what each person needs.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a practical pace so clients can try new skills between meetings. He uses a mix of approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods. That means sessions often blend practical strategies for changing behavior with attention to personal values and a warm listening stance.
People get concrete tools and time to reflect on what matters to them. Alberto also uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness work when helpful. These tools can help with managing intense emotions, improving coping, and building steadier routines for sleeping and eating.
He pays attention to how different life stresses, like caregiving or career change, shape daily functioning. Therapy with Alberto is collaborative. He helps people set realistic goals and checks in on progress over time.
The aim is to make small, useful changes that fit each person’s life and responsibilities.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is about noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking small steps toward what matters. It helps people who feel stuck by linking actions to personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns and for building new habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alberto will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. He checks in regularly and adjusts methods if something isn't helping, so goals and techniques stay useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you see facial cues and practice skills together. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text work well for shorter check-ins, reminders, or when writing helps process feelings. These options make therapy more flexible for busy parents and people with changing schedules.
