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.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Jose is amazing. Thank you :)
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.
José is experienced with working through your problems areas, reimagining ways to look at those problem areas and helping you find solutions that you can undertake to alleviate those problem areas. Highly recommend!
