About Jose

Jose Rey is a licensed therapist practicing in California with 30 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or low mood.

Background and approach

He also supports people dealing with relationship tension, family conflict, and workplace strain. Jose aims to make the first steps into therapy easier.

He creates a calm space where people can talk about painful feelings without judgment. He encourages small, practical steps that fit into everyday life.

In sessions he listens closely and helps clients notice patterns that keep problems going. He works with people on communication skills and ways to manage strong emotions.

He also helps caregivers balance responsibilities and self-care. Jose draws on approaches that are grounded in evidence and adapted to each person’s needs.

He and the client decide together which techniques to try and adjust as progress is made. That collaborative process helps keep goals realistic and relevant.

Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Jose practices as an LMFT - licensed marriage and family therapist - and as an LPCC - licensed professional clinical counselor - in California.

He speaks English and is not taking international clients.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Jose uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps people can use between sessions. One approach emphasizes recognizing unhelpful thinking and trying different ways to respond to stressful situations; it helps with anxiety and low mood by teaching practical tools for daily life. Another approach centers on improving communication and behavior patterns that cause relationship and family conflict; it teaches ways to express needs, set boundaries, and repair interactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan when something isn’t working. That teamwork helps keep therapy focused and flexible as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different routines. Video lets people connect face to face, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging helps keep a conversation going between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
