About Jorge
Jorge Rivas-Carrillo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He works with individuals who are trying to make sense of intense feelings and everyday pressures.

He creates a calm, straightforward space where clients can talk through what matters most to them. Sessions focus on practical steps for managing symptoms and on understanding patterns that keep problems repeating. Jorge frames work around real-life goals like better communication, more confidence, and clearer decision making.
His background centers on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce distress and improve coping. He also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, immigration-related struggles, and family of origin wounds. He draws on this experience to help clients process guilt, shame, and relationship changes.
Jorge aims to help people build resilience and self-compassion while navigating life transitions such as divorce or midlife shifts. He supports people dealing with domestic violence history, commitment or control struggles, and co-occurring problems that complicate recovery. Conversations are practical and paced to each person’s needs.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and take place in Florida. Jorge encourages prospective clients to consider what they want from therapy and to begin with small, manageable steps toward change.
Evidence-based techniques and online care
Jorge draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on reducing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning. One approach emphasizes learning concrete coping skills to manage anxiety and panic, helping people lower arousal and handle stressful moments more effectively. Another approach centers on processing grief and painful emotions through guided conversation and gradual exposure to difficult memories, which can help lessen their hold over daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jorge collaborates with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals and preferences. He adjusts the plan as progress is made and invites feedback to keep the work relevant and practical.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when days are tight. It can also let people choose sessions that match their energy level - for example, phone check-ins when bandwidth is low or video sessions for more conversational work.
