About Alfonso
Alfonso Holmes is an LPC with nine years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. He meets people where they are and centers their own strengths in the work.
Alfonso believes clients are the experts on their stories. He uses clear, practical steps to help people build on what already works. Conversations are direct and supportive, with tools you can try between sessions.
His background includes work on addictions, grief, anger, and workplace issues. He also supports people navigating LGBT concerns, sexuality, codependency, and communication problems. Alfonso pays attention to how day-to-day patterns affect mood and relationships.
He draws from several approaches to tailor the work to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. Mindfulness practices aim to reduce reactivity and calm the mind. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy guide short-term goals and practical next steps.
Alfonso works with people to set clear, achievable goals. He encourages gradual change and realistic expectations. If someone wants help, he asks about goals, priorities, and what has helped before, then builds a plan together.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Alfonso often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or low mood, then try practical behavior changes. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calm. Both approaches lend themselves to short exercises and homework that translate well to remote sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose techniques or a mix of methods to match the person's needs and pace.
If you're considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. This profile does not list specific formats, so checking available ways to meet is important. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support practicing skills in everyday settings.
