Alejandro Holguin, LCSW

Alejandro Holguin is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California with 13 years of practice. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. He also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, and problems with intimacy and sleep.

Alejandro uses straightforward conversations to identify what feels stuck and what matters most. He helps clients notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors, and then tries small, doable changes together. Sessions aim to be practical and respectful of each person’s background and values.

He has particular experience with attachment issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, and blended family dynamics. Alejandro also works with people coping with addiction, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue. He provides support for fatherhood issues and common family problems without assuming the same path fits everyone.

Therapy blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral work, emotion-focused conversations, and acceptance-based strategies. Alejandro favors a collaborative style that centers the client’s goals and pace. He focuses on strengthening how people relate to themselves and to others.

If someone is ready to start, Alejandro asks for a brief matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions that align with availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Alejandro’s approaches translate to online work

Alejandro draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching clear, step-by-step tools to change responses.

He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current connections and feelings. This work helps when intimacy, abandonment, or parenting issues come up and aims to improve how people relate to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alejandro will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that match your needs. The first sessions often focus on what you want to change and on testing an approach to see if it fits.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoid needing camera use when that feels difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so the work continues between sessions and fits your everyday life.
