About Alfonso
Alfonso Holmes is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with nine years of professional experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and depression. Alfonso also focuses on issues like codependency, communication problems, men's issues, self-love, sexuality, workplace challenges, and young adult issues.
He believes clients are the experts on their own stories and brings a practical, respectful approach to sessions. Conversations tend to focus on skills you can use between meetings. He asks clear questions and outlines small steps you can try, rather than long lectures or vague talk.
Sessions often include evidence-based tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. He may use motivational interviewing to sharpen goals and solution-focused techniques to build quick, usable plans. These approaches are used to address everyday pressures like work stress, relationship tension, and the transition into adulthood.
Alfonso places emphasis on straightforward feedback and collaborative goal-setting. He helps people break big problems into smaller tasks, track progress, and adjust plans when something does not work. That can make starting therapy feel more manageable.
He practices in Texas and holds the LPC credential. His work is practical and goal-oriented, aimed at helping adults aged 18 and up navigate the pressures of early adult life.
How Alfonso uses practical approaches in online sessions
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. It gives concrete skills to manage anxiety, low mood, and work-related stress through small experiments and behavioral tasks.Mindfulness therapy teaches paying attention to the present moment with curiosity rather than judgment. It helps with rumination, stress regulation, and noticing emotional patterns so they interrupt less of your day.
Motivational interviewing is a conversational method that sharpens personal goals and motivation. It is useful when someone feels stuck about change, such as quitting an addictive habit or shifting career direction.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to agree which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process may involve trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting it based on what helps.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins, and let people join from wherever they are that has quieter surroundings. Licensed professionals use these practical benefits to help sessions fit everyday life rather than add another burden.
