About Jose
Jose Angel Diaz offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, navigating life changes, and challenges related to attention and focus. He centers care on each person’s goals and strengths, aiming to help them build a life that reflects what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Jose approaches work with respect for clients' own expertise about their lives and encourages practical steps informed by personal values. With three years of clinical experience and licensure as an LCSW in Illinois, Jose uses evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and trauma-focused practices alongside client-centered principles.
He also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when useful to address emotional regulation, impulsivity, attachment concerns, and issues like social anxiety or post-traumatic stress. His practice attends to both mental health symptoms and related challenges such as chronic pain, control struggles, and men's issues, helping clients translate insights into meaningful change.
Integrating evidence-based approaches with online care
Jose uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify personal values and take committed action toward a meaningful life, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life transitions. He also employs Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of traumatic experiences, focusing on processing and practical strategies to reduce trauma-related symptoms. When appropriate, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are added to teach skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance that support daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time so clients and therapist can test what works and refine focus as progress unfolds.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow ongoing access to a licensed professional from wherever a client is located within Illinois, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and fit therapy into a busy life.
