About Jorge

Jorge Rivas-Carrillo is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He listens for what matters most and offers straightforward support for emotional struggles and life transitions.

He keeps sessions focused and practical. Jorge draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people notice patterns, manage strong emotions, and improve communication. He aims to make things clearer so clients can try new ways of coping between sessions.

Jorge brings 13 years of clinical experience in Florida to his work. He has supported people through loss, relationship strain, caregiver stress, immigration-related challenges, and the aftereffects of family conflict. He pays attention to how culture and background shape feelings and choices.

In the therapy room he emphasizes short-term tools and longer-term insight. That can mean practicing ways to calm anxiety, naming unmet needs behind anger, or working through shame and guilt. He also helps people sort through commitment and control issues that affect daily life.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Jorge uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist's availability.

How evidence-based approaches can work online

Jorge uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage emotions and move forward. One common approach he uses focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns so clients can test new responses to anxiety and low mood. This technique helps with panic, worry, and feeling stuck in negative thinking.

A second approach emphasizes emotion regulation and grounding skills. It teaches short exercises to reduce overwhelm, name feelings like anger or grief, and practice calming strategies that can be used during a hard moment.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. Jorge collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and what feels doable. He adjusts plans as progress and challenges show up so the approach stays relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when you only need brief support, and remove travel time. It can also allow people to work with therapists who speak their language without relocating.
