About Jose

Jose Campos is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a decade of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship difficulties. He centers respect and dignity in his work and focuses on understanding the whole person rather than only the presenting symptoms.

Background and approach

His practice emphasizes collaboration so clients can shape goals and make informed choices about the direction of therapy. His background includes focused work with traumatic stress and abuse, alongside related concerns such as attachment wounds, abandonment, fatherhood issues, and social anxiety.

He blends evidence-informed techniques to address mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and the emotional fallout of discrimination and life transitions. Clients can expect an empathetic, inclusive environment that encourages questions and gradual skill-building.

Jose works from a perspective that integrates practical strategies and narrative exploration, aiming to clarify unhelpful thinking patterns while also making space for personal meaning and story. He invites prospective clients to share what is working for them and to collaborate on a plan that fits their needs and pace.

Approaches for Online Healing and Skill-Building

Jose draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. Narrative Therapy is used to explore personal stories and the meaning people attach to their experiences, supporting changes in identity and perspective after trauma or relationship stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers targeted strategies to address the lingering effects of abuse and post-traumatic stress by integrating safety, regulation skills, and processing of traumatic memories.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to match methods to their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and comfort evolve. Clients are invited to ask questions and help shape the pace and focus of work together.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility constraints. These formats make therapy more accessible and allow ongoing contact between sessions when appropriate, helping clients practice skills and maintain continuity of care across life changes.
