More about José

- LPC
I am licensed to practice as a counselor in Texas with 20 years of experience. My goal is to be caring, respectful, sensitive, and compassionate with you, recognizing that seeking help may be difficult for some people. I make it my mission to help my clients feel fulfilled and also gain the skills they need to make positive changes in their lives. I work with people who experience stress, anxiety, lack of motivation, low self-esteem and who lack self-confidence. My approach is relational and narrative, where the relationship with your friends and family is considered central to the life you are storying for yourself. We will carry out a treatment plan that will be focused on you and the plans you make to lead a fulfilling life.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

He’s a great therapist, I came here to be heard, and he’s a really great listener in all the concerns I have.
Jose has helped me a lot to understand certain aspects that have led me to think about improving as a person.
I enjoyed and felt listened to with Mr. Alvarado. I like his approach because he creates a safe space and can make a genuine connection. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an open-minded therapist.
