About Alfred
Alfred Aguite is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people navigate parenting challenges and relationship strain. He offers straightforward, respectful support to parents and individuals working on connection, trust, and intimacy. Sessions aim to help clients clarify values and take practical steps forward.
He trained in Counseling and holds a Master of Family Therapy from San Diego State University. Alfred uses narrative ideas to help people tell clearer stories about their lives and choices.
Background and approach
He also draws on motivational interviewing and humanistic principles to encourage honest self-reflection and purposeful change. In sessions he listens closely to what matters to each person. He helps clients identify their values and use those values to tackle problems with more confidence and direction.
Conversations are direct but compassionate, focused on concrete next steps rather than long theory talks. Alfred has three years of clinical experience working with parents, foster and group-home youth, people who were formerly incarcerated, and crisis intervention settings. That varied background informs his practical approach to parenting concerns and communication problems.
He commonly addresses issues such as intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, forgiveness, loneliness, and life purpose. Clients who do well with his style tend to be open to feedback and ready to reflect on their choices. Sessions are conducted in English and take place with a California-based license.
For parents trying to balance values, discipline, and connection, Alfred focuses on clear goals and steady progress rather than perfect solutions.

Approaches that guide online parenting and relationship work
Alfred uses narrative therapy ideas to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. This approach helps when patterns feel stuck by identifying alternative ways to think about conflicts, parenting roles, and personal strengths.He also uses motivational interviewing techniques to draw out what a person really wants to change and to build small, achievable steps. That method is useful for shifts in behavior, from changing communication habits to trying new parenting strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alfred will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas fit best based on goals, values, and practical constraints. Together they set clear, measurable steps and revisit progress as work continues.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and keep continuity when life gets hectic.
