About
Dr. Alberto Figueroa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC, CFT) and a Certified Family Therapist with more than 17 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. He specializes in treating anxiety, depression, chronic stress, couples issues, family conflict, and more.
He earned his Master's degree in Clinical Counseling and went on to earn a Doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology from Northcentral University. Additionally, he studied structural family therapy to understand people's interconnectedness. He uses a combined approach to counseling that maintains one theoretical perspective as its foundation (Adlerian psychodynamic therapy) and applies interventions from other theories to individualize treatment.
Dr. Al believes therapy helps individuals become aware of the obstacles that hinder their goals. Armed with awareness, persons can examine behavior patterns, discover alternative possibilities, implement change, and learn to accept their reality. However, therapy works best when clients and counselors work collaboratively to achieve the desired objectives.
Dr. Al has helped many persons overcome life challenges and learn to live fulfilling lives by developing a caring relationship and using multiple counseling interventions. He looks forward to developing therapeutic relationships that empower individuals to become their best selves and enhance the quality of their lives.

Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
