About Alejandro
Alejandro Holguin is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in California. He brings 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Alejandro focuses on practical steps that make daily life more manageable for people feeling overwhelmed.
He works with people who face attachment concerns, panic attacks, low self-worth, guilt, or shame. Fathers looking for support with parenting, identity, and connection are included in his focus. He also assists people dealing with grief, addiction, trauma, and compassion fatigue.
Alejandro draws on several evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Sessions center on clear goals, skill-building, and understanding the patterns that keep people stuck. The style is collaborative and direct while remaining respectful of each person’s background.
In a typical session Alejandro helps people name the thoughts and emotions that get in the way. He then works with them to try new behaviors and coping strategies. Over time the aim is to reduce distress and increase a sense of agency in everyday life.
He offers care in English and practices in California. To begin, people follow the site's Start Therapy process and schedule based on the matching questionnaire and therapist availability.
How Alejandro’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through structured exercises and homework, which helps with panic, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication, which can help with intimacy and fatherhood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alejandro works collaboratively to decide which methods fit someone’s needs and goals. He checks in about what feels useful and adjusts the plan as therapy moves forward.
Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for quicker check-ins during a break. Some people prefer shorter video or phone check-ins while others choose longer sessions for deeper work; Alejandro will discuss what works best given each person’s schedule and goals.
