Jose Carranza

I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing therapy to adults in both Spanish and English. I support clients navigating grief and loss, caregiver stress, anxiety, chronic or life-limiting illness, adjustment concerns, and major life transitions.

My approach is warm, practical, and culturally responsive. I help clients feel understood, identify their strengths, and develop realistic strategies to move forward with greater clarity and confidence. My background in psychology, social work, hospice and palliative care, behavioral health, and coaching allows me to bring an integrative perspective to therapy.

My approach to therapy starts with meeting you where you are. I use evidence-based approaches, including CBT, ACT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques, to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and patterns. Together, we identify what may be holding you back, build practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful changes that reflect your values and goals.

My style is collaborative, strengths-based, and culturally responsive. I aim to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your own process of growth and change.

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and understand what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about what you’ve been experiencing, what feels most important right now, and what you would like to change or understand better. Together, we’ll begin identifying your goals and the areas we may want to focus on moving forward. By the end of that first session, we will have a clearer sense of what to focus on and how to move forward together. My aim is that you leave feeling genuinely heard, and with at least a small sense of what is possible.
