About Jorge
Jorge Abreu is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 32 years of experience based in New Jersey. He works with adults who bring worries about stress, anxiety, relationships, intimacy, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, parenting, anger, and self-esteem. He also lists codependency among his focus areas and offers services in English and Spanish.
Jorge uses a human-centered approach that draws on client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, existential questions, and psychodynamic thinking. In sessions he listens for patterns that keep people stuck - like avoiding boundaries, people-pleasing, or repeating painful relationship habits - and helps identify small changes that make daily life easier. He combines talking, practical exercises, and reflective work rather than relying on a single method.
Assessments look at a full picture of a person's life, including biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors. That helps him target behaviors and thoughts that cause the most trouble at home, work, or in relationships. The work often includes setting concrete goals, practicing new responses, and noticing the beliefs that underlie difficult choices.
Jorge frames therapy as a partnership. He aims to help people use what they learn in sessions to reduce symptoms and repair sabotaged patterns. He describes the process as direct and grounded, with an emphasis on usable skills and clearer self-understanding.
He accepts international clients and conducts work in both English and Spanish. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs to feel understood, clarify priorities, and decide which next steps to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and behavior changes. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jorge treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss options based on a person's goals, concerns, and what feels most useful in early sessions. He combines parts of different approaches when that better fits the client's needs and preferences.
The therapist's profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and make it easier to keep continuity across locations. If you need sessions in English or Spanish or have international circumstances, note that he accepts international clients and offers both languages. Discuss format preferences when you schedule the first appointment so practical arrangements match your needs.
