Jose Del Val, LMHC

The clients I connect with most deeply are those willing to take the first step toward managing anxiety and worry, even if they're not yet sure where to start. Often, individuals don't immediately recognize their inherent strengths, but our work together aims to uncover these hidden resources. My goal is to help you clearly identify your values and aspirations, ensuring that each therapeutic intervention aligns directly with what's most meaningful to you, fostering authentic motivation and lasting change. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, employing Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to help you recognize and adjust unhelpful thought patterns. Incorporating training from experts at the Beck Institute, I structure sessions based on the Cognitive Model and the Risk Resource Model of anxiety, creating a structured yet adaptable therapeutic environment. Sessions are thoughtfully organized for maximum productivity through mood check-ins, targeted goal-setting, and practical action plans designed to facilitate meaningful daily progress. My therapeutic style is collaborative and flexible. I actively listen, pose thoughtful questions rather than simply giving instructions, and present structured tools in an approachable, customized manner. CBT is supported by extensive research, and my continuous professional development ensures you receive care at the highest standard. Additionally, I have training in theology and spirituality-based therapy, which can be integrated into sessions if they align with your personal value system. As a fluent Spanish speaker, I also offer counseling services in Spanish to better serve diverse client needs. Together, we'll build a personalized toolkit of strategies to help you respond confidently and effectively to life's challenges. With consistent, incremental shifts in thinking and behavior, meaningful change becomes genuinely achievable.
