About Alfonso
Alfonso Holmes is a Licensed Professional Counselor with nine years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical steps people can use to manage anxiety, stress, and setbacks. He emphasizes a straightforward, respectful approach that helps people build on their own strengths.
Alfonso believes clients are the experts on their lives. He listens for what already works and helps people use those skills to move forward. He encourages small, doable changes that fit into a busy life rather than overwhelming plans.
How Alfonso works
His work often centers on mood concerns such as depression and anxiety, and on life stresses like career pressure, grief, and anger. He also supports people dealing with addictions, relationship struggles, and concerns about sexuality and self-esteem. Additional focus areas include codependency, communication problems, men’s issues, self-love, workplace issues, and young adult issues.
Alfonso uses techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems stuck and to try new ways of coping in everyday situations. The emphasis is on skills and steps that people can use between sessions.
He works with people in Texas and conducts sessions in English. Alfonso knows starting therapy takes courage and offers a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through what matters most and plan realistic steps forward.

How Alfonso's methods translate to online therapy
Alfonso draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on identifying linked thoughts, feelings, and actions and testing new ways of responding. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional calm.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alfonso will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill practice, motivational conversations, or short solution-focused steps and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face work and practice of skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text let people exchange notes or work through ideas between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical steps and measurable progress.
