Jorge Cruz

Jorge Cruz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. He brings five years of clinical experience and focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and anger. Jorge offers a direct, respectful style and aims to help people find practical ways to feel better day to day.

He uses a blend of client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and dialectical behavior therapy approaches. Sessions center on clear goals and hands-on strategies that can be practiced between meetings. Jorge emphasizes collaboration, so clients and he build a plan that fits the situation and pace of change.

In sessions he listens for patterns that keep problems going and helps people try small, testable changes. That can include shifting unhelpful thoughts, learning emotion regulation skills, or creating routines that support sleep and recovery from substance use. The work is practical and focused on skills you can use right away.

Jorge treats issues linked to relationships, parenting strain, grief, work stress, ADHD, and compulsive behaviors among other concerns. He avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with sensitivity and respect. His approach assumes people have strengths to draw on, and therapy is about uncovering those strengths and applying them to current problems.

Clients ready to begin complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Jorge and each client set goals together and revisit them as changes occur.

How Jorge’s approaches translate to online work

Jorge draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and letting the client guide the pace and topic of sessions; it helps when people need a respectful space to make sense of their feelings. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and habits; it can help with anxiety, depression, and anger. DBT teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which is useful when impulsivity, strong mood swings, or relationship strain are present.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jorge collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and day-to-day life. He adjusts techniques over time based on progress and what feels most useful to the client.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people maintain steady work on stress, anger, and recovery goals while balancing other responsibilities.
