About Enrique
Enrique Villarreal is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with 10 years of clinical experience. He focuses on anxiety, stress, self-doubt, career concerns, and life changes and helps people who are trying to make clearer decisions about work and personal priorities.
He frames work and personal life as connected. Enrique draws on his own experience leaving a long career in design to guide people through burnout, career change, and the feelings that come with those transitions. Sessions include practical steps to reduce overwhelm and to clarify next moves at work or in life.
His main methods include cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused exercises, and elements of narrative work. That means clients can expect concrete tools to notice unhelpful thoughts, experiments to test new behaviors, and conversations that reframe difficult chapters of life. He also uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change.
Enrique often helps with grief, addictions, anger, depression, and issues tied to identity such as LGBT concerns and multicultural stress. He also addresses caregiving stress, fatherhood questions, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and workplace problems when those come up alongside other concerns.
Sessions aim for clear skills and short-term goals alongside deeper story work when needed. He encourages clients to try small behavior changes, review results, and adjust plans. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform button.
How his approach translates to online work
Enrique uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in everyday life. CBT gives practical steps such as thought records, graded exposures, and behavior experiments that can be tracked between sessions.He also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support readiness and to strengthen motivation for change. That approach focuses on listening for a person’s reasons for change and helping them set small, achievable goals. Narrative Therapy is used to revisit the stories people tell about themselves and to look for alternative meanings that reduce shame or self-criticism.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. He will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the client’s needs. Sessions often combine short skills work with discussions about life and career so the plan evolves based on what actually helps.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a break, avoiding travel time, or using phone audio when bandwidth is limited. These practical conveniences help clients apply skills between sessions without promising any particular format.
