About Alberto

Alberto Chang is a licensed social worker with ten years of psychotherapy experience. He practices in New Hampshire and holds both LCSW and LICSW credentials. Alberto focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, career strain, grief, depression, and addiction. He aims to make the first step toward change less daunting for those who reach out.

Alberto creates a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where a person can talk about what feels hard. Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical steps so progress feels tangible. He listens for patterns in thoughts and behavior that get in the way, and then works with clients to change them.

His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to reframe unhelpful thoughts and on Motivational Interviewing to build readiness for change. Narrative Therapy is used to help people reshape difficult life stories and find different meanings. These methods are combined with problem-focused planning so clients leave sessions with things to try between meetings.

Alberto aims to help people handle relationship tension, parenting stress, intimacy issues, and family-of-origin concerns. He also supports those coping with trauma, grief, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue. Work often includes improving communication, setting boundaries, and managing strong emotions.

People who prefer a practical, conversational style may find his work helpful. He partners with clients to set realistic steps and to track small gains. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Alberto uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making everyday problems feel more manageable. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to explore a person's readiness to change and to build motivation one step at a time. Narrative Therapy is used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and to find alternative, more helpful meanings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alberto collaborates with each person to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts plans over time based on what is or isn’t working and seeks practical ways to measure progress together.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed, and they can help maintain continuity when life events make in-person meetings hard to arrange. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep momentum between major life changes.
