About Jorge
Jorge Rivas-Carrillo is a Florida LCSW with 13 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He also addresses related issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, and immigration concerns.
He keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters day to day. Conversations often cover how feelings show up at home and work, communication patterns, and practical steps to reduce reactivity. Jorge speaks English and Spanish and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong emotions and recurring patterns.
In the room he helps people name their triggers and notice unhelpful habits. He guides clients through short exercises and reflections that can be used between sessions. The work is aimed at clearer thinking, steadier responses, and improved handling of anger and frustration.
He also addresses family of origin issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, control and dependency concerns, and separation or divorce stress. Jorge helps people sort through mixed feelings and conflicting needs so they can make clearer decisions.
Clients can expect direct, practical conversations that connect past patterns to present behavior. Sessions include checking what’s working, practicing different responses, and setting small, achievable goals for daily life.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Jorge draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong emotions. One common approach focuses on identifying triggers and changing automatic reactions through practice and reflection; this helps with sudden anger, workplace frustration, and ongoing resentment. Another approach centers on improving communication patterns so conversations feel less charged and more productive; this is useful for conflicts that repeat at home or work.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jorge will work with each client to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the work as needs change. The plan usually includes short exercises to practice between sessions so people can test what works in real life.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people join a session from different locations when that helps them keep consistent appointments.
