About Alfonso

Alfonso Holmes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges related to relationships and identity.

Background and approach

He blends cognitive behavioral tools with mindfulness and motivational strategies to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, learn practical coping skills, and set achievable steps toward their goals. Alfonso emphasizes clients' strengths and capacity for change while offering direct, skills-focused guidance.

He has worked with concerns including addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, codependency, communication problems, sexuality, and workplace issues. Alfonso approaches each situation with respect for the client’s own knowledge of their life and encourages collaborative, solution-oriented work.

He invites clients to consider small, manageable changes that build confidence and momentum over time. Alfonso practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English.

He frames therapy as a partnership in which the client’s goals drive the process, and he supports people through both short-term problem solving and longer-term growth.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online support

Alfonso often integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy helps clients build awareness of present-moment experience and develop calmer responding to difficult emotions, supporting work on anger, grief, and self-esteem.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. He works together with each client to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor short-term solutions as well as longer-term skill development.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for scheduling and for fitting therapy into busy lives. These options make it possible to continue consistent work on goals from different locations and moments, while allowing the therapist and client to adjust communication style and pacing to what works best for the individual.
