About Jorge
Jorge Abreu is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey with 32 years of experience. He offers therapy in English and Spanish and works with clients on a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, trauma, grief, parenting and self-esteem. Jorge draws on client-centered methods to create a respectful, collaborative space.
He combines that with cognitive behavioral techniques and psychodynamic ideas to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and long-standing patterns.
How Jorge works
Mindfulness practices and existential reflections are also part of his approach when they match a person’s needs. Sessions begin with a broad bio-psycho-social-spiritual assessment to understand the full picture. From there he partners with clients to set goals and identify small, practical steps for change.
Conversations focus on clear strategies that can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Jorge also addresses a wide set of concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, and blended family challenges. He adapts his style to the matter at hand while keeping the client's values front and center.
Therapy is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Prospective clients choose a subscription that can be canceled at any time and may book international appointments when appropriate.

Online support options
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Jorge uses client-centered therapy to build a trusting, respectful working relationship where the client's goals guide each session. This approach focuses on listening carefully and helping people identify what matters most to them and how they want things to change.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people learn practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage moods, change unhelpful behavior, and handle relationship or stress-related problems more effectively.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jorge collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and preferences. That collaboration includes checking in about what helps, what feels uncomfortable, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full-session talk and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth is needed or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to get support between sessions or to communicate without being on camera. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
