Jorge Abreu, LCSW

Jorge Abreu is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey with more than three decades of experience. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, depression, addictions, trauma and grief. He speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

Jorge centers his work on the person in front of him. He uses client-centered methods to build a trusting connection and to understand each person’s story. From that base he draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also brings psychodynamic and existential ideas to help people clarify values and long-standing patterns.

Sessions begin with a broad bio-psychosocial-spiritual assessment to get a clear picture of challenges and strengths. Jorge aims to partner with clients and set practical goals. He focuses on small, concrete changes people can use to reduce symptoms and improve relationships at home and work.

He offers a direct, respectful style and works with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, body image, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, communication and control problems. Jorge also supports people exploring BDSM, kink, and alternative sexual culture topics and other intimate concerns.

People who choose him start by completing a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Jorge combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to meet people where they are. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, building trust, and helping clients set their own goals; it is useful when someone needs support to feel heard and to clarify values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and skills, which can help with anxiety, mood, and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jorge will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest a mix of methods to try. He reviews progress together and adjusts the plan so the work fits the client's life and needs.

Online therapy offers several practical advantages.

Before starting online therapy, confirm the current session options, scheduling arrangements, and fees. Discuss what will help you take part comfortably and how to fit appointments around everyday commitments. Agree on the next steps with the therapist so you know what to expect.
