Background and approach
His approach centers on relationships and personal stories. Narrative Therapy is used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and to open new possibilities. Client-Centered planning keeps the person’s own goals at the center of the work.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. José helps people develop a clear plan and then practices skills that support those plans. He checks progress and adjusts the plan when needed.
He also addresses family-related concerns such as parenting, fatherhood issues, family of origin problems, and communication challenges. Additional focuses include abandonment and attachment issues, chronic illness and pain, control and commitment concerns, and coping after disasters. José offers services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
People who prefer a warm, steady guide for working through anxiety, stress, or life transitions may find his manner helpful.
Therapeutic approaches you can access online
José uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person's own goals and choices, helping clients clarify what matters and build confidence. This approach is useful for self-esteem, motivation, and general stress. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, which can open new options for coping with anxiety, family problems, or feelings of emptiness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. José collaborates with each person to find what fits best based on their needs and preferences. Together they set goals, try different techniques, and adapt the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions enable face-to-face conversation and direct interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for quick updates, written reflection, or when scheduling makes real-time sessions difficult. These options make therapy flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
