About Alberto
Alberto Chang is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New Hampshire. He holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and brings about 10 years of psychotherapy experience to his work. He aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable for people who are overwhelmed or unsure how to begin.
Alberto focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. He also supports people facing career strain, relationship concerns, issues related to identity and LGBT matters, addiction, and major life transitions. He listens for what matters most to each person and helps break larger problems into smaller, achievable steps.
In sessions Alberto keeps language straightforward and goals clear. He works to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. He emphasizes collaboration, so people help set the pace and decide what feels most useful for them.
Over his career he has used a mix of approaches to match different needs, including cognitive behavioral work that links thoughts and actions, motivational methods to build personal momentum, narrative ideas to reframe experiences, and psychodynamic listening to track patterns over time. He adapts techniques to real life so people can practice changes between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Alberto commonly uses cognitive behavioral work, which helps people notice patterns between thoughts, feelings, and actions and then try different behaviors to change how they feel. That approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stressful reactions.He also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change. This method focuses on small, practical steps and building forward momentum when motivation feels low. Narrative therapy is another approach he uses to help people reframe personal stories and identify strengths amid hardship.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Alberto treats this as a team effort and will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and comfort level. He checks in and adjusts the plan as progress and priorities change.
