About Jose
Jose Legaspi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with nine years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, career problems, depression, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Jose uses straightforward, practical methods to help people manage symptoms and get unstuck. He draws on cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavioral approaches alongside solution-focused and strengths-based ideas. Conversations focus on small, usable changes rather than abstract theory.
In sessions he listens for what is getting in the way of daily functioning. He then helps set clear, short-term goals and steps to work toward them. For someone struggling with panic, social worry, or low mood, this often means practicing new responses and testing them in real situations.
He also addresses patterns connected to addiction, career strain, caregiver stress, immigration-related pressures, and isolation. Jose works with issues across the lifespan including aging and geriatric concerns and midlife transitions. He responds to co-occurring problems such as mood disorders and substance use by coordinating practical supports and treatment priorities.
People can expect an interactive and solution-focused style that emphasizes skills they can use between sessions. The plan for treatment is created together and adjusted as progress is made. To begin, he asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
Approach and what online sessions involve
Jose uses evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral methods and dialectical behavioral strategies. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. Dialectical behavioral strategies teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jose will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means reviewing what has helped in the past, setting short-term goals, and adjusting the plan as progress is seen.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online appointments easier to fit around work and caregiving. Online sessions can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on busy days, or make regular meetings more practical for those juggling multiple responsibilities. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach skills, run exposures or behavioral experiments, and review progress in a way that fits everyday life.
