About Jorge
Jorge Cruz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy. He uses clear, respectful conversation to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and related concerns. Sessions aim to identify what’s getting in the way and build steps people can use right away.
Jorge draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused around each person's experience. He combines that with cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and with skills from dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation and coping.
Background and approach
Together these approaches guide short-term goals and longer personal change. His work includes support for relationship strain, grief, self-esteem problems, sleep and eating concerns, anger, and career stress. He also addresses ADHD, bipolar challenges, and the effects of substance misuse.
Jorge pays attention to co-occurring issues like codependency, impulsivity, isolation, and first responder stress when they come up. Jorge has five years of clinical experience in Florida and speaks English. He meets people where they are and adapts sessions to fit life demands and goals.
The focus is on practical steps, steady encouragement, and skills people can use between sessions. People who choose Jorge can expect a collaborative plan with clear strategies and regular check-ins. He emphasizes respect, hope, and building on a person’s existing strengths as they work toward lasting change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. Sessions emphasize respect, empathy, and helping people discover their own solutions to problems like relationship strain, grief, or low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replace them with more effective habits. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and behaviors related to addiction or sleep and eating concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for regulating strong emotions and handling crises more effectively. These skills support people managing intense anger, impulsivity, or co-occurring mood concerns such as bipolar disorder.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then adjust methods over time to fit those needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing skill practice between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
