About Jose
LCSW Jose Angel Diaz practices in Illinois and has three years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English.
Jose centers work on practical steps people can use day to day. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and trauma-informed care alongside client-centered methods. He treats problems related to concentration and memory by helping clients notice what matters and plan small actions that fit their life.
His approach starts with listening to the client's story and identifying strengths already in use. He uses Motivational Interviewing techniques to help people find reasons to try new strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are woven in when people need help managing strong emotions or impulsive behavior.
Sessions focus on clear goals and simple practices rather than long theory talks. For someone dealing with a life change, Jose will work on concrete coping steps, values-based choices, and ways to reduce anxious thinking. For trauma-related concerns he combines trauma-focused methods with grounding and skill-building exercises.
People who prefer straightforward guidance and skill practice may find his style useful. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to get started. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Jose uses ACT and trauma-informed care in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify personal values and take small, meaningful steps toward them. It focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck, and on building actions that match what matters to the client. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the impact of traumatic events through careful processing and skill work to reduce distress and increase functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when feelings run high.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Jose will listen to current problems, goals, and preferences, and then suggest one or a mix of approaches. He reviews progress regularly and adjusts methods based on what is or isn't helping.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. Some people find phone or video helpful for shorter symptom check-ins, while other sessions use more guided practice and longer skill work. Ask about available session types when scheduling so arrangements match day-to-day needs.
