About Jose
Jose Angel Diaz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with three years of practice experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, coping with life changes, and attention and concentration concerns such as ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and focus on practical support that fits everyday life.
He prefers to build on what people already know about themselves. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-focused approaches, and client-centered methods to help people notice what matters and take small steps toward it. He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and motivational interviewing when helpful.
In sessions he listens for patterns that make problems worse, like control struggles or impulsive reactions. He helps people name those patterns and practices simple skills to manage strong feelings and improve focus. He also addresses related concerns such as attachment issues, chronic pain or illness, and social anxiety.
His approach is straightforward and practical. Meetings typically look like talking through current problems, trying a new behavioral strategy, and reviewing what helped between sessions. He encourages people to connect goals to daily routines and responsibilities.
Jose trained at the University of Chicago and brings three years of field experience to his work in Illinois. Before booking, confirm the current session formats and scheduling steps so they fit with work, family, and other commitments.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches can work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation problems. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and building on a person's own goals and strengths to solve day-to-day problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing emotions, reducing impulsive behavior, and improving interpersonal effectiveness; these skills often help with stress, anger, and social anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and try different methods based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with time set aside to practice skills between meetings and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people attend from a quieter location or during a work break. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and the session length that will fit everyday life.
