About Jorge

Jorge Cruz is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who draws on five years of clinical practice to provide focused, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, addictions, trauma, and ADHD.

Background and approach

He uses an interactive, supportive approach that honors each person's strengths while addressing symptoms and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. His style blends evidence-informed strategies with a human-centered stance, tailoring conversations and treatment to individual needs rather than relying on labels.

Clients can expect an emphasis on exploring underlying causes while also building concrete skills for managing emotions, cravings, sleep difficulties, relationship strains, and life transitions. Working from Florida, he brings experience addressing a wide range of concerns including depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue.

Jorge frames therapy as a collaborative process that respects resilience and aims to foster practical, sustainable change through clear goals and regular evaluation.

Using Evidence-Informed Approaches Online

The practice integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to address emotional and behavioral challenges in remote sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration to help clients explore their experience and draw on their own strengths, which can be especially useful for building motivation and self-understanding. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers structured tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and addictive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapt techniques so they fit the client's circumstances and pace. This flexible, team-oriented method helps ensure that methods are matched to the problem rather than applied rigidly.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which expand access and scheduling flexibility. These options allow therapy to fit into busy days, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change, while still providing regular, structured contact with a licensed professional.
