Jose Gomez, LPC

Jose Gomez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 10 years of clinical experience. He focuses on straightforward, practical care for people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, depression, career concerns, and ADHD. Jose speaks English and Spanish and aims to create a respectful space where people feel heard.

He often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. He also draws on client-centered and mindfulness ideas to make sessions feel collaborative and grounded. Dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing inform his approach when impulse control or motivation are central concerns.

Sessions typically emphasize clear goals, simple skills to practice between meetings, and regular check-ins on progress. Jose tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation rather than following a one-size-fits-all script. He pays attention to practical steps for day-to-day life, such as improving routines, managing cravings, or handling intense emotions.

People come to him for a mix of symptoms and life problems: mood shifts, obsessive thoughts, relationship struggles, problems with substance use, or the long work of grief and forgiveness. He also supports those facing career uncertainty and questions about life purpose.

Jose aims to work in partnership with each person to set clear, manageable goals and build skills that can be used outside sessions. He encourages small experiments and regular review to see what helps and what needs adjusting.

How CBT, Client-Centered Work, and DBT Translate to Online Care

Jose commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going and to test practical behavior changes. CBT suits concerns like anxiety, depression, obsessions, and many mood issues by breaking problems into manageable steps.

He also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening, empathy, and the person’s own goals. This approach makes the work collaborative and helps people shape their own plan. Dialectical behavior therapy contributes tools for managing strong emotions, impulsivity, and interpersonal stress when those issues come up.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Jose works together with each person to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. He checks in regularly and adjusts strategies based on what is helping and what is not.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skills practice, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options let people fit care into work breaks, caregiving routines, or travel, while keeping therapy consistent and flexible.
