About Alfonso
Alfonso Holmes is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with nine years of clinical experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, grief, anger, low self-esteem, career pressures, and depression. He also focuses on codependency, communication problems, men's issues, self-love, sexuality, workplace issues, and challenges common to young adults.
Alfonso sees the person in front of him as the expert on their own life. He uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way and which strengths can be used to move forward. Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented, with clear steps to try between meetings.
He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness-based techniques are used to build attention and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing supports people working through ambivalence, especially around addictions or big life changes, and Solution-Focused Therapy keeps conversations aimed at small, achievable shifts.
Alfonso keeps language simple and avoids jargon. He encourages small experiments - trying new ways of saying no, setting a boundary, or changing a daily routine - and then reviewing what worked. His approach is collaborative: clients and the counselor decide together what to focus on next.
Sessions are offered in English and are based in Texas. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can begin outlining goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How his approaches are used in online sessions
Alfonso commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and try different behaviors. CBT sessions often include specific exercises and homework to practice between meetings and can help with anxiety, depression, and unhelpful coping habits.He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention skills and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness in sessions is taught through short practices and simple ways to bring attention into daily moments, which can lower stress and improve emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alfonso will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is made together and can change as progress is reviewed.
