Jose Baltazar, LCSW

Jose Baltazar is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Illinois with three years of documented clinical experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction, grief, trauma and other life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and he does not accept international clients.

He describes his approach as rooted in social work and shaped by several therapy styles. In practice he draws from Client-Centered work, cognitive-behavioral tools, and dialectical methods. He also uses elements of the Gottman Method and mindfulness as needed to address relationship patterns and emotional regulation.

In a typical session he listens for the patterns that keep a problem active. Then he helps people notice what they do and think when stress or anger rises. He teaches concrete skills for managing overwhelming feelings, for handling conflicts, and for shifting unhelpful thoughts. Sessions often include simple behavioral experiments and mindfulness exercises to build day-to-day coping skills.

Jose pays attention to cultural and family background when looking at problems. He also works with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, control, and co-occurring difficulties such as ADHD or process addictions. His focus is practical - reducing distress and improving how someone functions in relationships and at work.
