About Alejandro

Alejandro Holguin is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of practice in California. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and addiction find clearer ways forward. Alejandro works with everyday problems like sleep trouble, parenting strain, and feelings of emptiness.

He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, and challenges tied to attachment and abandonment. Alejandro uses straightforward conversation and practical exercises in sessions. He listens for what matters most to each person and helps them try new ways of responding to hard emotions.

Background and approach

Sessions often include skills for managing anxiety, improving communication, and coping with life changes. His work draws on Attachment-Based Therapy along with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Alejandro blends these methods to match each person's needs rather than following one set plan.

The goal is to strengthen relationships with others and with oneself. He offers support around blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and forgiveness. Alejandro also addresses addiction, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues in clear, step-by-step ways.

His style is collaborative and respectful of a person’s background and experience. People who reach out can expect calm, direct guidance and tools to practice between sessions. Alejandro helps clients build skills that fit real life, aiming for steady progress instead of quick fixes.

Online support

How Alejandro’s approaches translate to online care

Alejandro draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect feelings and behavior. That work often helps with intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns, and building safer ways of connecting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take small actions toward a values-based life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides clear tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the process. Alejandro works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and daily life. He adapts exercises and pacing so the work feels doable and relevant for the person in front of him or on the screen.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversation and practicing communication skills. Phone sessions can be easier when video is difficult or bandwidth is low. Live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins, written reflection, and flexible ways to keep practicing between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
