About Jose
Jose Gomez is a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of experience offering practical, person-focused therapy. He uses clear, direct conversation to help people manage stress and anxiety and to cope with addiction, trauma, grief, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and he works from Michigan as an LPC.
His approach starts with listening. He asks about what’s most troubling right now and what the person wants to change.
Background and approach
From there he co-creates a plan that fits daily life. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at small, useful steps rather than jargon. Jose blends methods such as cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, and client-centered conversation.
That mix helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and respond to strong emotions in healthier ways. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help shifting habits like substance use. He has ten years of clinical work and draws on that experience when tailoring treatment.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all program, he adapts pacing, homework, and techniques to each person’s needs and goals. The emphasis is on practical skills that can be used between sessions. People reach out to him when anxiety, obsessive thinking, addiction, or life transitions feel overwhelming.
He aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for honest talk and gradual change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and priorities. Online sessions allow the therapist to listen closely, reflect what matters most, and shape sessions around the client’s goals. This approach helps with motivation and clarity about next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online work CBT often includes practical exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that clients can try between sessions to reduce anxiety and worry.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. When used online, DBT skills like distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness can be practiced in real time and reviewed with the therapist.
Finding the right approach is part of the first weeks of therapy. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose and adapt methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That means testing what helps and shifting strategies when needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill coaching, or when a shorter touchpoint fits into a busy day.
