About Alfred

Alfred Aguite is a licensed marriage and family therapist who centers work on helping people build stronger self esteem and clearer direction in life. He draws on narrative approaches and motivational interviewing to help clients identify what matters to them and act from those values. Alfred listens closely and encourages practical steps toward goals people care about. He has three years of clinical experience and a Master of Family Therapy from San Diego State University. His background includes work with parents across different family structures, group-home and foster youth, and people reentering the community after incarceration. That range of experience informs his focus on everyday challenges people face. In sessions he uses Post-Modern and narrative methods to help people separate themselves from unhelpful stories and see new possibilities. Motivational interviewing supports readiness for change and helps turn intentions into action. Humanistic ideas guide a respectful, values-centered conversation. Alfred concentrates on individual psychotherapy with an emphasis on relationships, intimacy, and parenting concerns. He also helps people with communication problems, forgiveness, loneliness, and finding life purpose. The goal is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes. He invites people who are willing to reflect and try new behaviors. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, values-driven choices, and small experiments clients can use between appointments. People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth style may find this approach helpful.

How Alfred uses narrative and motivational techniques online

Alfred commonly draws on narrative therapy to help people separate themselves from limiting stories. This approach looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite those narratives so they support stronger self esteem and clearer choices. It can be useful for relationship patterns, parenting roles, and loneliness.

He also uses motivational interviewing to support change one step at a time. That method focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and helps turn those reasons into specific actions. It works well when someone feels stuck or unsure how to start making different choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alfred will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt them as progress is made.
