Jose has worked with a range of concerns including ADHD, mood disorders, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, and substance use challenges. He also helps people who struggle with abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and life transitions such as divorce or career change.

How Narrative and Practical Approaches Work Online
Jose blends Narrative Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people untangle recurring problems. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps separate the person from the problem so new options become visible. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and meeting people where they are, which helps build trust and clear goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) adds concrete strategies to change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try, and they adjust the plan as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for full conversations and watching body language. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging give ongoing access between sessions and can make it easier to reflect in the moment. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep continuity when life is unpredictable.
