Hi! I'm Jose H. Caraballo, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Miami, Florida. I received my Master's Degree in Clinical Social Work from Barry University. I specialize in helping individuals manage and overcome anxiety, depression, and stress. By employing techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, I guide my clients towards achieving personal well-being and navigating life’s challenges effectively.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. You will feel that someone is interested in your story and willing to help when needed. This will help us create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I bring my education along with all of my life experiences together to support my patients. Understanding that we are all unique but similar in our needs and desire to be understood are probably some of my biggest strengths as a clinician.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with individuals who are looking to make deep and long-lasting improvements in their lives. My clients are eager to improve, but somehow feel stuck in their lives leading them to feel overwhelmed and anxious. They all have it within them to reach their life goals, many of them just need the right guidance and support.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have extensive experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), utilizing the strategies daily and having completed my in-depth training during my graduate studies. In my practice, I use CBT as an approach to help clients understand the relation between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By identifying and challenging negative thought patterns, we work together to develop healthier behaviors and coping strategies. This method has proven effective in treating a wide range of psychological issues, including anxiety, depression, and stress management. I integrate CBT with practical exercises and homework assignments to reinforce learning and promote change outside of therapy sessions.
Motivational Interviewing
I have trained and been trained in Motivational Interviewing (MI) for many years and have successfully incorporated it into my therapy sessions since I began as a therapist. This client-centered counseling style is effective for fostering intrinsic motivation to change. In my practice, I use MI techniques to help clients articulate their personal reasons for wanting to make changes in their lives. I guide clients toward their own solutions, enhancing their commitment to change. Through using MI we can create a non-confrontational environment where clients feel supported to uncover and strengthen their drive towards their goals.
Trauma Informed Care
Childhood trauma is an especially important topics for me in my work, I even wrote a book about it named "The Life Enrichment Journey".
