About Alberto

Alberto Chang is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of psychotherapy experience. He holds NH LCSW and MA LICSW credentials and practices in New Hampshire. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, career challenges, and addiction concerns. Alberto aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive.

He creates a calm space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Sessions are conversational and practical. He listens for patterns that keep problems going and gently challenges unhelpful beliefs so people can try new ways of coping.

Alberto draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address immediate thinking and behavior changes, and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their life stories. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support change when people feel stuck and Psychodynamic ideas to understand long-term patterns from past experiences.

People seeking help with relationship strain, intimacy questions, parenting stress, or issues around identity and LGBT concerns may find these methods useful. Alberto also works with complicated grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns, and with people navigating big life transitions. He aims to match strategies to each person’s goals and pace.

Alberto stresses collaboration in therapy. He helps clients set concrete goals and checks progress together. He encourages practical steps between sessions so change continues outside the therapy room.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online help

Alberto uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in ways that fit online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors through simple exercises, which can be reviewed together in sessions and practiced between meetings. Motivational Interviewing centers on exploring readiness for change and building personal motivation, useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will adapt methods over time. Decisions about what to try first are made together and revisited as progress is checked.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time so therapeutic work can happen around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
