About Alfonso
Alfonso Holmes is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with nine years of clinical experience based in Texas. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, grief, and issues around sexuality and self‑esteem. He also helps people dealing with addictions, workplace concerns, and questions that arise in young adulthood.
Alfonso keeps language simple in sessions and treats clients as the experts on their own lives. He draws on practical methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Sessions focus on small, doable steps rather than big promises.
His approach uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness ideas help people slow down and notice what’s happening in the moment. Motivational Interviewing supports change by clarifying what someone wants and what matters enough to act on.
People come to him for common concerns such as communication problems, codependency, men’s issues, and low self‑love. He also works with LGBT clients on sexuality and relationship topics, and with career or workplace stress. Alfonso avoids clinical jargon and aims to make practical tools easy to try between sessions.
For someone worried about losing their temper, he will look at triggers, immediate responses, and how to step back before reacting. He helps set realistic goals and makes space for setbacks without judgment. The focus is on clearer choices and more manageable reactions over time.
How Alfonso uses CBT and mindfulness online
Alfonso often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes to reduce anger and anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy is used to increase awareness of the present moment and bodily signs that come before an outburst; this can make it easier to pause and choose a different response.He also uses Motivational Interviewing to clarify what a person truly wants to change and to build internal reasons for taking steps. These approaches are presented in clear, practical language and matched to the client’s goals. Figuring out the right mix of methods is a collaborative process he will do together with you during early sessions.
