About Alfonso
Alfonso Holmes is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical, down-to-earth help. He draws on nine years of experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship strain, and workplace problems. Alfonso believes clients know their own story and builds on those strengths in sessions.
He uses straightforward techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Motivational Interviewing is part of his style when someone needs help finding their own reasons to change.
Background and approach
Solution-Focused Therapy lets him help clients set short-term goals and track progress. Sessions center on clear steps and useful skills. Alfonso talks through patterns, practices new ways of coping, and helps clients test what works between meetings.
He pays attention to concerns like self-esteem, communication problems, codependency, men's issues, sexuality, and young adult challenges. Clients can expect an approachable, goal-oriented process. Alfonso favors practical tools that fit daily life, not long lectures or jargon.
He supports people exploring career stress, relationship questions, and identity concerns related to LGBT experiences. Alfonso practices in Texas and works in English. He aims to make the first steps easy to follow, and he encourages people to name one small change to try between sessions.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Alfonso uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach works well online because it breaks problems into specific steps and homework that can be tracked between sessions. He also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve mood during daily life. Motivational Interviewing appears in meetings when someone needs support finding and strengthening their own reasons to change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try techniques together and adjust as needed. The process is about testing small changes and building on what works.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, follow-up questions, or shorter coaching-style support between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work breaks, commuting gaps, or changing schedules.
