About Alberto

Alberto Chang is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Hampshire and a LICSW with ten years of psychotherapy experience. He works with adults who face stress, anxiety, depression, grief, career challenges, addictions, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps people can take to feel steadier in daily life.

He draws on several therapeutic approaches to match what a person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavior changes. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck about change by clarifying values and next steps. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and how those stories shape choices.

Alberto tends to keep conversations direct and goal-oriented. He helps clients identify what they want to change and sets short-term goals to make progress. When trauma or grief comes up, he mixes careful listening with techniques to reduce overwhelm so progress can continue.

People who come for help with relationships, parenting, or intimacy-related concerns work on communication and practical problem solving. For career and caregiving stress he focuses on coping strategies and pacing. Anger is addressed through understanding triggers, practicing different responses, and building new patterns over time.

He offers sessions in English and works from his New Hampshire practice. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session to talk about goals and next steps.

How sessions work

Approaches explained and how online work fits

Alberto uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce stress and anger. CBT is practical and often includes specific exercises to practice between sessions.

He also draws on Motivational Interviewing, which focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and resolving mixed feelings about change. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps in work, recovery, or relationships.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then recommend and adjust methods based on client feedback. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or choose a session style that feels less demanding on energy. Talk with the therapist in the first meeting about how to shape sessions so they fit daily life and commitments.
