You need to set up Text Message Forwarding on your iPhone. See here:
On your iPhone, open Settings ➔ Messages ➔ Send & Receive: Here, ensure that ONLY the phone number has a checkmark beside it. Uncheck any items with an email address. Ensure that Start New Conversations From has only the Phone Number Checked.
On your Mac (I am assuming that you have a Mac computer) Open Messages app ➔ Preferences ➔ iMessage Tab: Here, Ensure that ONLY your Phone number has a check mark beside it. Uncheck any items with an email address.
