About Enrique
Enrique Villarreal is an LPC - Licenced Professional Counselor in Colorado with ten years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career questions, and life changes. He also helps people dealing with grief, addiction concerns, anger, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are informed by career-focused counseling and practical problem-solving.
Enrique draws on his own career change experience to shape how he talks about work and meaning. He spent a decade in graphic design before returning to study counseling at Colorado State University. That background leads him to pay close attention to how work and personal life affect each other.
In sessions he uses direct, skills-based methods such as cognitive-behavioral tools and solution-focused strategies. He helps people name unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try small experiments that can reduce worry and increase confidence. Motivational Interviewing is used to support change when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.
He often treats career topics as part of broader life purpose questions. Conversations can include resume of values, decision-making around job changes, and coping plans for workplace stress. Enrique also addresses fatherhood concerns, caregiver stress, multicultural issues, and men's issues when these come up in adult clients' stories.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Colorado. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Enrique uses evidence-based methods in online sessions
Enrique commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in his work. CBT focuses on recognizing and testing thoughts that increase stress or doubt, then trying practical behavioral experiments to see what changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels uncertain about change; it uses structured conversation to clarify values, elicit motivation, and set small steps toward goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Enrique will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and past attempts to change, and then they decide together which methods to try first. That collaborative process is ongoing and can be adjusted when something is not working or priorities shift.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can still make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and offer options when someone prefers not to be on camera. Enrique aims to help clients balance practical scheduling with the methods that suit their goals.
