About Alejandro
Alejandro Holguin is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in California with 13 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and major life changes. He focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more able to cope.
He works with people dealing with trauma, grief, addiction, and parenting challenges, including fathers navigating identity and connection. Alejandro also supports those managing attachment concerns, codependency, communication problems, and compassion fatigue. He lists coping with natural or human-caused disaster among his additional focus areas.
In sessions he talks through thoughts, emotions, and patterns that get in the way. He combines skills-based methods with exploration of relationships and attachment. Clients can expect clear tools to try between meetings and time to reflect on what’s working.
Alejandro draws on several therapy styles to match each person’s needs. The room is collaborative - the client’s goals guide the plan. He emphasizes small, achievable changes that add up over time.
He aims to help people strengthen how they relate to themselves and others. The work often covers coping with life transitions, building healthier boundaries, and reducing symptoms like panic or sleep disruption. Alejandro’s background and steady approach are meant to help people move toward greater stability and purpose.
How Alejandro’s approaches translate to online work
Alejandro uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and when life changes make it hard to move forward.He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy which looks at patterns in close relationships. That approach helps people understand how early bonds affect current connections and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alejandro will talk with each person about goals and daily life, and then suggest techniques that fit those needs. The plan can shift if something doesn’t feel helpful, and clients are involved in deciding what to try next.

Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy day, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick adjustment is needed. They can also make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and include partners or other supports when appropriate and agreed upon.
