About
My name is Jose Ruvalcaba, and I am an LCSW practicing out of Los Angeles CA. My approach to therapy is very much focused on my client's strengths. Some of my main focus areas include depression, anxiety, grief, and stress management. My therapeutic approach is centered on the strengths and motivational factors of my clients. I employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my sessions. Additionally, I incorporate motivational interviewing techniques in my practice. The majority of my work with clients is centered on symptoms of depression, anxiety, grief, stress management, and developmental trauma. I aim to create an environment of acceptance and calmness. I like to ensure that my clients feel safe and heard throughout treatment. Our first session will focus on getting to know each other and building rapport. It will also be used to gather information necessary for treatment planning and goal setting. My whole adult life has been centered on helping others. My journey as an LCSW began with me working as an afterschool counselor. My passion for working with people led me to become a Substance use counselor and eventually begin graduate school to become a Clinical Social Worker. I approach goal setting with my clients as a collaborative exercise.
