Jack Valdez, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado with 25 years of experience supporting adults in both online and in-person settings. His work commonly focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression, with additional attention to challenges such as caregiver stress, communication difficulties, workplace pressures, isolation, and life transitions.
He approaches therapy with a client-centered style, aiming to create a space where people can speak openly about thoughts and emotions without feeling judged. Jack collaborates with clients to shape sessions around what feels most helpful, whether that means having room to talk things through, building practical coping strategies, or both.
When clients want skill-based support, he may draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools to strengthen emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier alternatives to harmful urges toward self or others. He works at a pace that fits each client, helping them identify goals and develop strategies they can use in daily life.
Jack Valdez integrates evidence-informed methods to help clients work through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, and mood concerns in ways that feel doable in everyday life. In Client-Centered Therapy, sessions are guided by the client’s priorities, with an emphasis on being heard and understood while clarifying what matters most and what needs to change.
He also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and practicing more balanced alternatives. This can be especially useful when anxiety, depression, or self-esteem concerns start to shape daily choices and relationships. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills may be included as well, offering structured tools for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and responding more effectively when urges or conflict feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jack works collaboratively with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts the focus over time.
Online therapy makes it easier to access support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with communication.
