About Jose
Jose Baltazar is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Illinois with three years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, mood changes, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, trauma, parenting questions, ADHD, and anger.
Jose uses straightforward conversations to help people understand what keeps them stuck. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear steps people can try between meetings. He draws on several approaches and mixes what fits the person rather than following a single method.
His background is in social work and he brings that perspective into sessions. That means attention to how relationships, family history, and daily routines shape feelings and behavior. He can talk through problems like attachment worries, abandonment, control issues, jealousy, and family of origin concerns.
Jose uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of acting. He also uses dialectical behavior strategies for emotion regulation and mindfulness practices for slowing down intense moments. The Gottman Method informs his work around relationship communication and repair.
People who see him often want a direct, practical approach. He helps people build skills for panic, process addictions, and coping with life changes such as divorce, midlife shifts, or career stress. Sessions aim to reduce reactivity and increase options when anger or frustration arise.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How his methods translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. It helps people feel heard and name values that shape how they respond to anger and conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep anger alive and teaches step-by-step experiments to try different responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work and the therapist will help figure that out together. He will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what actually helps with mood, reactions, and relationships.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy into a busy week, reducing travel time, and keeping short check-ins during workday breaks. Other practical benefits can include easier scheduling and the ability to practice communication skills in real-life settings soon after a session.
