About Jorge
Jorge Rivas-Carrillo is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He works with individuals who are overwhelmed by strong emotions or life transitions and wants to make therapy understandable and practical. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to meet bilingual needs.
He keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Conversations often start with what feels most urgent, then move to small, manageable steps that reduce overwhelm.
Background and approach
He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people name their feelings and try new ways of responding to them. Jorge pays attention to how background and relationships shape current struggles. He helps people unpack issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems, and family of origin concerns.
He also supports those facing caregiver stress, immigration challenges, divorce or separation, and problems tied to guilt or forgiveness. Practical skills are a regular part of his work. Clients learn ways to calm intense reactions, set clearer boundaries, and improve everyday communication.
He encourages homework that feels doable between sessions so progress can continue outside the appointment time. His Florida practice blends direct feedback with cultural awareness. Jorge aims to create a respectful space where people can talk honestly about control issues, dependent personality patterns, or past domestic violence without feeling judged.
The goal is steady, noticeable change over time.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Jorge uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people understand feelings and change unhelpful patterns. One common approach focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and anger going, then practicing alternatives that reduce reactivity and improve mood. Another approach centers on processing loss and grief by naming emotions and building small routines that restore daily functioning and meaning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan based on what is helpful. That way therapy stays aligned with the client's needs and preferences rather than following a fixed script.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people have a longer, face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or for a quieter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone send short updates, get feedback between sessions, or fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep momentum and use skills in real life.
