Alfonso Holmes, LPC

Alfonso Holmes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of clinical experience. He uses straightforward, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with addiction. He welcomes conversations about identity and sexuality and supports people navigating workplace strain or relationship conflict.

Alfonso centers sessions on skills that people can use right away. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. He also uses mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and Motivational Interviewing to help clarify goals and strengthen commitment to change.

People can expect clear, goal-focused sessions that balance short-term problem solving with work on longer patterns. Alfonso emphasizes collaboration and respects each person's knowledge of their own life. He guides clients through steps they can try between meetings and checks progress regularly.

His background includes nearly a decade of counseling work across varied settings in Texas. That experience brought repeated opportunities to support people with grief, anger, self-esteem, and career concerns. Alfonso describes his role as a guide who helps people build tools and confidence to face difficult moments.

Signing up for therapy can feel hard, and Alfonso acknowledges that courage. He aims to make the process direct and approachable, helping clients set realistic goals and track practical progress over time.

Practical approaches for online therapy and goal work

Alfonso commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thinking patterns that cause distress and to practice small behavioral changes that improve daily life. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and behavior change related to addiction.

He also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice reactions and reduce automatic reactivity. Mindfulness techniques are brief, skill-based practices that can lower tension and make it easier to choose responses instead of reacting on impulse.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alfonso collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. He checks in about what is working and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more depth is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief, ongoing support and fit shorter breaks or busy days. These options make it possible to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while keeping treatment focused and goal-oriented.
