About Jorge
Jorge Cruz is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) practicing in Florida with five years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, anger, and related concerns. He works with people dealing with relationship and family issues, grief, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and life transitions.
He uses a direct, interactive style in sessions. Conversations focus on understanding what leads to a problem and on practical steps to reduce its impact. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the talk focused on the person’s experience and priorities.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of his approach when patterns of thinking and behavior keep problems going. That work looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and practices small changes that can ease anxiety, anger, or low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are also used for managing strong emotions and improving coping. That means practicing skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication when frustration and rage feel overwhelming.
Sessions aim to be practical and goal-oriented. Jorge helps people identify steps they can use between sessions, like experiments, skill practice, or new routines. He encourages people to notice what works and adjust plans as needed.
People who choose him will find a clinician who centers the person’s perspective and works collaboratively. Before booking, confirm the current session options and scheduling details on the service page.
How sessions work
How his approaches are used in online sessions
Jorge commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) language in session. Client-Centered work focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, letting the conversation follow what matters most to the client. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and introduces small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. DBT offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and communicating more clearly.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying strategies, reviewing what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than committing to one fixed method up front.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as options are listed on the service page. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where their challenges happen and bring real-life examples straight into the conversation.
