About Jose
Jose Campos is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. He approaches therapy with respect for each person's dignity and aims to create an inclusive, empathetic space. He speaks English and practices from California as a CA LCSW.
He focuses on practical goals you can work toward together. Sessions look at symptoms as well as the life situations around them, such as relationship strain, grief, or problems tied to fatherhood and first responder roles.
Background and approach
Jose asks what is already working for you and builds on those strengths. His methods draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. That can mean identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, reworking difficult personal stories, or using trauma-focused techniques to reduce the power of painful memories.
The therapist and client choose the mix that fits the goals. Jose emphasizes collaboration. He invites questions and discusses options so people understand why certain steps are suggested.
The approach is practical and straightforward, with attention to values and life roles. For people coping with mood disorders, social anxiety, self-harm urges, or stress tied to discrimination or military experiences, he offers focused work on those areas. He also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment questions, and challenges after sexual assault or abuse.
How CBT, Narrative, and Trauma-Focused Work Translate Online
Jose uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Online CBT typically includes structured conversations, simple skill practice, and homework to try between sessions. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe those stories to reduce shame and increase agency. In video or chat sessions this can be done through guided reflection, writing exercises, and collaboratively re-authoring events. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses symptoms tied to past trauma by safely processing memories and building coping tools; sessions may include paced discussion of traumatic events and grounding skills delivered step by step.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Jose will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process can be adjusted over time as needs change.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper rapport. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to do brief check-ins, handle scheduling gaps, or continue work between longer sessions. These options let people fit therapy into busy lives while working with a licensed professional.
