About Alfred
LMFT (California), 3 years' experience. Alfred Aguite focuses on relationship and parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, and building self-esteem. He uses Post-Modern and Narrative approaches alongside Motivational Interviewing and Humanistic concepts to guide individual psychotherapy.
Alfred draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problem stories. He listens for the values a person holds and helps them restate problems in ways that give more choice. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify what a person wants to change and to reduce ambivalence about taking steps. Humanistic concepts shape how he explores meaning and personal strengths.
He has experience working with parents - including biological, foster, and step parents - and with youths from group homes, as well as people who were formerly incarcerated. He has also worked in crisis intervention settings. Those roles inform his practical, direct approach in sessions and his focus on real-world challenges like communication, forgiveness, isolation, and life purpose.
In session he listens to what matters to each person and asks questions that connect values to action. He encourages self-reflection and clear feedback, and he challenges clients to apply their values toward concrete problems. Sessions focus on identifying meaningful goals and testing small changes between meetings.
He conducts individual psychotherapy and draws from his Counseling master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from San Diego State University. Speak with him to confirm current session options before booking.

How Alfred’s approaches translate to online sessions
Alfred primarily uses Narrative Therapy and Motivational Interviewing alongside Humanistic concepts. Narrative Therapy focuses on separating people from the problems they describe and reauthoring those stories to create new possibilities. It can help with relationship patterns, parenting roles, and issues of self-worth. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversational method to resolve mixed feelings about change and to set clear next steps. It is useful when someone wants to make changes but feels unsure where to start.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. Alfred will talk with each person about goals, values, and what feels most useful. Together they choose methods and test small changes between sessions so the approach evolves from real experience rather than theory.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and enabling work around school or job hours. These practical benefits help integrate therapy into routines while the therapist and client focus on concrete, values-driven change.
