About Jorge
Jorge Rivas-Carrillo helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He is Jorge Rivas-Carrillo, a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience in Florida. He talks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
He works with concerns that often overlap, like abandonment, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, and immigration-related distress. He also supports people dealing with family of origin problems, divorce and separation, and domestic violence aftereffects.
How Jorge works
Sessions address guilt, shame, communication problems, and difficulties with control or commitment. Jorge uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people recognize patterns and try new ways of coping. He aims to make change feel manageable by breaking goals into small steps.
He also pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes feelings and choices. In sessions he focuses on building self-understanding and stronger emotional skills. People can expect clear suggestions, practice tasks, and space to talk through painful memories.
He offers work in both English and Spanish to serve bilingual clients in Florida. Practical concerns such as caregiver burnout, co-morbidity of conditions, and dependent personality patterns are explored with steady, focused attention. He helps people develop stronger boundaries, improve communication, and work toward forgiveness when that fits their goals.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear skills and steps that people can practice between sessions. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real situations to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach looks at patterns in relationships and attachment, helping people notice how past experiences shape current reactions and learn new ways to connect and set boundaries.Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust as progress is made. That collaborative process helps find what feels most useful for managing stress, grief, or anger.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can suit people who prefer writing, want frequent brief check-ins, or need flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to continue work between sessions.
