Therapeutic approaches and online support
Jose works with client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a person’s goals and experiences guide the work. This approach helps with self-exploration, improving self-esteem, and navigating relationship and life transitions.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, stress, and related concerns. Motivational interviewing is another tool Jose employs to support people who are considering change - for example with addictions or lifestyle shifts - by strengthening personal motivation and commitment.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jose collaborates with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adapts methods so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy with Jose is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing greater flexibility for different schedules and locations. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access licensed professionals when in-person visits are not possible.
