About Jorge
Jorge Rivas-Carrillo, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with 13 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem, and depression and also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, and immigration-related stress.
He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people talk through what feels overwhelming. Sessions tend to focus on practical ways to reduce distress, improve communication, and manage strong emotions. Jorge addresses relationship patterns and family of origin issues without assuming one single cause for difficulties.
People meet him for help with panic or social situations that feel unmanageable, workplace stress, and the effects of separation or domestic violence. He also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, and forgiveness when those feelings interfere with daily life. Jorge offers services in both English and Spanish.
In sessions he works on concrete skills as well as the stories people tell about themselves. That can include small behavior changes, practicing new ways of speaking up, or mapping how past relationships affect current ones. He emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes.
His practice notes that sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should use the site flow to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the process.
How evidence-based approaches are used online
Jorge draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing thoughts and behaviors and on processing difficult emotions. Cognitive-style approaches look at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teach practical skills to test and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Emotion-focused work helps people name, tolerate, and make sense of strong feelings so they interfere less with daily life.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Jorge will help clients decide together which approaches fit their goals and comfort level, adjusting methods as progress is made. The collaboration aims to match techniques to specific problems such as panic, social anxiety, or relationship patterns.

It can also let clients practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life examples straight into conversation, which many people find useful for translating learning into behavior change.
