Alex Holt
M.A. Resident in Counseling
Hi, I'm Alex.
I'm a Resident in Counseling in Virginia focusing on individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, somatization and addiction.
Choosing a therapist can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to. You can read a little about me and my approach on this site, but the best way to find out if we're a good fit is to reach out to schedule a free 20-minute phone consultation. There's no obligation to work with me after the call---what matters is whether you feel we can be successful together. I'm also happy to connect you to other therapists who might be a good fit.
My Approach
I'm here to help you get to know yourself while we get to know each other. It might sound simple, but that simple idea is at the core of my approach to therapy. I lead with curiosity and acceptance (and encourage you to have the same approach toward yourself) as we examine the beliefs and patterns that you have learned to hang on to. You will also discover more about how you relate to yourself and others by noticing how we relate to each other in our sessions.
Another way I like to describe my approach is to imagine climbing an unknown mountain for the first time, with me as your mountain guide. I don't know everything about this particular mountain or route, but I do know a lot about mountaineering. The goal of our work is to make it possible for you to climb and explore the mountain, with me there to guide you along the way. Ultimately, this is your journey, and my job is to support you.

Contact Me
I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation to get started. There is no obligation to book an appointment after. My goal in these calls is to get you the help you need, which sometimes means referring you to other therapists and services if you don't feel we're a good fit. Please reach out, either by filling out the form or emailing or calling me directly. I'd love to hear from you!
