About Enrique
Enrique Villarreal is a Licenced Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people reduce stress and anxiety and find clearer direction in work and life. He brings ten years of counseling experience and a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Enrique centers conversations on what matters to each person and helps them take manageable steps forward.
He combines Narrative Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral approaches to help people rewrite parts of their life story that feel stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions often look at how personal beliefs and past events shape choices today. Enrique also uses Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change and Solution-Focused methods to identify small, effective steps that build momentum. Enrique draws on his own shift out of a long graphic design career when he talks about burnout and the pressure to meet others' expectations.
That background informs his focus on career development, life purpose, and work-related stress. He also helps with relationships to self, including self-esteem, guilt and shame, and forgiveness. Practical tools are part of the work.
Clients can expect clear goals, short exercises, and check-ins about progress. Conversations cover grief, addiction, anger, and compassion fatigue as they relate to everyday functioning and roles like fatherhood or caregiving. Enrique practices out of Colorado and works in English.
He frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at small changes that add up to meaningful shifts over time.

Narrative and Practical Approaches for Online Sessions
Enrique uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and their work. That approach helps uncover recurring themes that might limit choices and points toward new ways to describe and act in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with experiments that change mood and behavior. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck by helping them clarify why change matters and boosting motivation for the next steps.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Enrique will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls work well for longer sessions and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or a day with low bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow quick reflections, coaching-style prompts, or check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and busy schedules while keeping momentum on goals.
