About Alejandro
Alejandro Holguin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 13 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, anger, depression, and life changes. Alejandro also helps people dealing with addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting strain, and self-esteem concerns.
He often supports clients who are processing attachment wounds, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and blended family adjustments. Alejandro uses practical methods to address communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, and caregiver stress. He also works with people facing fatherhood issues and forgiveness challenges.
In sessions he draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means conversations look at thoughts and feelings, identify patterns, and build doable skills for day-to-day life. He focuses on what can change now rather than only discussing the past.
Sessions aim to help clients notice unhelpful habits and practice alternative behaviors. Alejandro emphasizes clear takeaways and simple exercises to use between meetings. He balances direct feedback with listening so people can test changes safely.
People who come to him often want workable steps for family tensions, stephousehold transitions, parenting stress, or rebuilding trust after loss or conflict. To begin, readers are asked to use the site's online process to match and schedule an initial appointment.
How Alejandro’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose values-based actions despite them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by focusing on meaningful activity rather than trying to remove every uncomfortable feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, anger, and sleep disruptions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and naming emotional responses to improve relational patterns and emotional connection; it can help people understand attachment reactions and repair strained interactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alejandro will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying a technique for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some formats also require less bandwidth or no video, which may suit shorter or focused conversations. The aim is to make sessions practical and adaptable to everyday life while using ACT, CBT, or EFT techniques as appropriate.
