Alfred Aguite, LMFT

Alfred Aguite is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with three years of clinical experience. He holds an MFT degree from San Diego State University (SDSU), and his training supports a practice focused primarily on individual psychotherapy and relational work. Alfred has experience working with a range of populations, including biological, foster, and step parents, youths from group homes and foster care, and people who are formerly incarcerated or in crisis intervention.

Clinically, he integrates post-modern and narrative approaches with motivational interviewing and humanistic therapy concepts. He listens closely to understand each person’s values and what matters most to them, then helps them draw on those values to address challenges with clarity and purpose. His work often addresses relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting difficulties, self-esteem, communication problems, forgiveness, feelings of isolation or loneliness, and questions about life purpose.

Alfred emphasizes developing a stronger, more intentional sense of self so clients can face life’s challenges with courage, honor, and sincerity. He welcomes clients who are reflective, open to feedback, and ready to engage in purposeful change.

Alfred often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from their problems and re-author the stories that shape their relationships and sense of self. This approach can be useful for addressing family dynamics, identity questions, and patterns that contribute to conflict or low self-esteem.

He also employs Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps clients explore ambivalence and build internal motivation for change. This technique is well suited to parenting challenges, behavioral shifts, and situations where a person is figuring out next steps.

Alfred incorporates humanistic therapy concepts that emphasize empathy, personal meaning, and the client’s inherent capacity for growth. Together these approaches are chosen to fit the client’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all model, and Alfred works collaboratively with each person to determine the best therapeutic fit based on goals and preferences.

Online therapy with Alfred is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from home, during work breaks, or while managing family responsibilities, helping clients maintain continuity of care while balancing other commitments.
