About Alejandro

Alejandro Holguin is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in California. He has 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Alejandro aims to make sessions clear and practical so people can use what they learn right away.

He often helps clients notice patterns in thoughts and behavior that keep them stuck. Sessions typically include talking through recent problems, identifying small changes, and practicing new ways to respond.

Background and approach

Alejandro draws on approaches like Systemic therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based work to shape sessions around each person's needs. Many people come for help with grief, anger, parenting strain, or addiction concerns. He also supports those coping with attachment wounds, blended family challenges, and issues tied to fatherhood or caregiving stress.

The focus is on tangible steps for daily life rather than long academic explanations. Alejandro uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people reframe unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. He encourages mindfulness and values-based choices when clients want to reduce anxiety or rebuild connection.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual. If someone is looking for straightforward guidance to handle life changes, Alejandro offers a calm, practical approach that centers the person's goals and strengths.

Online support

Approaches that translate to online care

Systemic therapy looks at how relationships, roles, and patterns affect daily life and helps people change those patterns to reduce stress and improve connections. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early relationships shape current intimacy and caregiving challenges, and it supports building safer ways of relating.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Alejandro will talk with each person about their goals, how they respond to different tools, and together they will decide which methods to try first. He expects plans to be adjusted as progress and needs become clearer, and he works with clients at a steady, individualized pace.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy sessions and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone work can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text allow brief updates, skill practice between sessions, and flexible check-ins during busy weeks. These options aim to make care more accessible and fit therapy into everyday life.
