About Alfred
Alfred Aguite is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who centers his work on narrative and motivational approaches. He focuses on relationships, family concerns, intimacy issues, parenting, and self-esteem in individual psychotherapy. Alfred speaks English and practices in California.
Alfred draws on narrative therapy ideas to help people tell clearer stories about their lives. He listens for what matters most and helps clients reshape unhelpful chapters. Motivational interviewing techniques are used to spark clients' own reasons for change and to build momentum for small steps.
How Alfred works
He also uses humanistic ideas that prioritize a person’s values and strengths. Sessions often involve looking at what a client cares about and using those values to set goals. Alfred encourages honest reflection and practical choices rather than abstract theory.
With three years of clinical experience, he has worked in settings involving parents, group homes, and crisis intervention. That background informs how he supports people facing complex life situations. He aims to help clients act with more courage, clarity, and purpose.
Sessions are structured to identify clear next steps. Alfred asks direct questions, offers gentle challenges, and helps clients track progress. The work is collaborative and focused on realistic change that fits each person's life.

How narrative and motivational work translate to online therapy
Alfred uses narrative therapy to help people reframe their life stories. That approach focuses on identifying important themes, naming unhelpful patterns, and crafting new, clearer narratives. It can be useful for relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and questions about identity or purpose.He also employs motivational interviewing to build internal motivation for change. This method helps clients clarify their own reasons for making changes and supports gradual steps toward goals. It pairs well with narrative work by turning new insights into action.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Alfred collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He watches how techniques land in early sessions and adjusts the plan together based on what feels most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quicker check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing, shorter exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
