About Alejandro
Alejandro Holguin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 13 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, depression, grief, and addictions. He also supports concerns like parenting, sleep problems, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue.
Alejandro focuses on emotions and attachment in everyday life. He helps people name hard feelings and notice the patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions include exploring thoughts and feelings and building practical strategies to handle tough moments.
He has extensive experience with mood concerns, panic, attachment issues, and struggles with self-worth, guilt, and shame. He offers support for fatherhood challenges, helping men navigate identity and connection as parents. Alejandro uses approaches that emphasize emotions, values, and changing unhelpful behavior.
In sessions he draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods. That mix lets him focus on feelings, relationships, and concrete skills to try between meetings.
Alejandro describes his work as collaborative and culturally responsive. He helps clients develop clearer ways to communicate and to handle stressful events. To begin, people select an online therapy option, complete a short questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How Alejandro integrates EFT, ACT and attachment work online
Alejandro commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people notice and name the feelings that drive relationship and attachment patterns. EFT focuses on emotion and interaction to change repeating cycles of disconnection.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take small steps toward meaningful action. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early bonds shape current relationship habits and responses to stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alejandro will collaborate with each person to choose which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can change as therapy progresses and new issues come up.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as session formats are set by the therapist. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require. They also allow people to participate without needing to be on camera for every meeting, which can help on days when bandwidth or attention is limited.
