Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Jose combines several practical approaches to support change and resilience. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space in which the client’s perspective guides the work - it is useful for building self-awareness, confidence, and a stronger sense of identity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style designed to help people find their own reasons for change and strengthen commitment when motivation feels uncertain.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jose works collaboratively with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adapts methods to fit each person’s needs rather than prescribing a single path.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for accessibility and flexibility. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can maintain continuity of care around work, family, travel, or health constraints. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions, try different communication styles, and engage in therapy in ways that suit each client’s life and learning style.
