About Jorge
Jorge Cruz is a Florida LMHC with five years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and other life challenges listed in his practice profile.
He uses a straightforward, interactive style in sessions. Jorge listens and then helps people sort out what keeps repeating in their relationships and daily life. He focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings, and talks through how thoughts, actions, and habits affect mood and behavior.
Jorge draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to shape sessions. That means some meetings focus on understanding what matters to the person, while others practice specific skills for managing strong emotions or changing unhelpful thinking patterns.
People who struggle with codependency, difficulty saying no, or living around someone else’s substance use often come to him for help setting boundaries and recognizing personal priorities. He also supports people dealing with grief, career stress, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions emphasize clear steps and skill practice rather than labels. Jorge encourages people to notice small changes and to bring real situations from life into therapy for practical problem solving. He invites questions and checks in about which strategies are helpful as work progresses.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and acknowledging what matters to the person. In online sessions this looks like guided conversations that help someone clarify values, goals, and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns; online work often includes homework and short practice tasks between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness; those skills can be taught and practiced in remote sessions the same way they are in person.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jorge collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their needs and goals. He checks progress and adjusts the focus if skills or strategies are not helping in everyday life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they fit into busy schedules, cut down travel time, and make it easier to keep appointments around work or caregiving responsibilities. Online work also lets people share real situations from their day for immediate problem solving and skill coaching without promising particular format features.
