More about Jose

- LCSW
I'm a retired military officer with over 22 years of experience in military healthcare settings. My experiences working with clients of diverse cultures, socioeconomic, ethnic, gender, educational, and diversified backgrounds have allowed me to gain a practical understanding of the intricacies of the helping profession. My social and economically disadvantaged background, including my experience serving in the military, has nurtured a heightened sense of professionalism and a personal commitment to assist individuals, families, and communities in having more control over their lives and fulfilling their potential as human beings. I have experience working with individuals, families, couples, teens, veterans, and crisis intervention. I have been practicing in the military, government agencies, and hospitals, including outpatient and inpatient clinics, alcohol and drug treatment, family advocacy, and suicide prevention programs. I'm a patient-centered, solution-focused, and evidence-based therapist with extensive experience working with those with challenges coping with depression, stress, anger management, anxiety, pain, relationship issues, family issues, occupational stressors, crisis events, and life circumstances.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
