About Jorge
Jorge Cruz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who uses a direct, supportive style to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and mood concerns. He frames sessions around practical steps and honest conversation. Jorge keeps language plain and focuses on what a person needs right now.
He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make sure people feel heard and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps him and the person identify patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way.
How Jorge works
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Jorge has five years of clinical experience working in Florida. That experience includes addressing substance use concerns and co-occurring mood conditions.
He adapts techniques to fit each person’s situation instead of relying on one fixed method. Sessions focus on clear goals such as reducing anxiety, improving sleep, managing cravings, handling grief, or coping with life changes. Jorge emphasizes small, manageable steps so progress feels realistic.
He avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity. In meetings he blends conversational, interactive therapy with practical homework when useful. People can expect focused talk, skill practice, and check-ins on progress.
The aim is to build tools that can be used outside sessions to handle everyday challenges.

How Jorge’s Approaches Work Online
Jorge commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working with people online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so people can talk through their concerns and find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jorge treats the choice of methods as a collaborative process and adjusts techniques based on a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. He will review what’s helping and what isn’t and suggest changes together so the plan fits the person’s life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit short reflections or skill practice into a busy day. These options provide flexibility and make it possible to work on stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and coping skills without rearranging a whole day.
