About Jorge
Jorge Cruz is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) based in Florida who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and ADHD. He uses a supportive, interactive style that centers the person in front of him. Jorge aims to treat each person with respect and sensitivity while avoiding stigmatizing labels.

Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, is used to develop emotion regulation and coping skills when feelings feel overwhelming. With five years of clinical experience, Jorge has worked with people facing trauma, addiction, grief, relationship strain, sleep and eating concerns, and career stress. He also supports those coping with anger, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and isolation.
He emphasizes practical steps alongside understanding the reasons behind a struggle. Sessions commonly focus on clear goals, skill building, and small changes that stack up over time. Jorge helps people test new responses, practice coping techniques, and make plans that fit their daily life.
He aims for straightforward dialogue and steady progress. People who choose Jorge can expect a collaborative process. He listens for strengths, clarifies what matters most, and adjusts the plan as needs change.
His approach blends direct skill teaching with a human-centered, respectful stance.
Online approaches that emphasize skills and collaboration
Jorge uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening space where the person leads the conversation and strengths are highlighted. This approach helps when someone needs understanding, clearer priorities, and a steady supportive presence.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new, more helpful ways of thinking and behaving. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and routine challenges that respond to step-by-step changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jorge discusses goals, preferences, and how a method fits daily life, then adjusts the plan as progress is made. The process is collaborative and goal-focused, with room to try different tools until the best fit is found.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and school schedules while still practicing real skills.
