About Edilberto
Edilberto Vazquez is an Illinois LCSW with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are carrying heavy guilt or shame alongside stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship strains. He also helps people managing career concerns, parenting challenges, and grief.
In session he uses practical approaches to help clients notice unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and on Motivational Interviewing to explore what someone wants to change and how to take small steps toward that change.
Edilberto aims to make sessions straightforward and focused. He listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and then tries concrete strategies to shift those patterns. He pays attention to culture and life context when talking about guilt, shame, and identity.
He has worked with people affected by trauma, first responder stress, and chronic illness. He offers practical tools for managing overwhelming moments and for coping with life changes that bring regret or self-blame.
If someone is weighing whether to book, Edilberto asks about specific concerns, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That helps shape an approach that feels doable and fits day-to-day life.
How his approaches work for online sessions
Edilberto uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that feed guilt and then test different responses. CBT focuses on how thinking, feeling, and acting link together, which can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep shame active.He also uses Motivational Interviewing to explore a person’s own reasons for change. That approach is conversational and aims to build small, practical steps toward goals like repairing relationships or changing self-critical habits.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with a client about their goals, past efforts, and preferences, then try methods that make sense for their situation. Adjustments happen over time based on what is helpful.
