About Jorge
Jorge Rivas-Carrillo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 13 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He also addresses family of origin issues and related patterns that continue to affect daily life.
He keeps sessions straightforward and focused on practical change. Conversations look at how childhood roles, expectations, and communication patterns show up now. He pays attention to cultural background and immigration-related concerns when they are relevant.
Jorge uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong emotions and improve relationships. He helps people learn new ways to communicate, set boundaries, and respond differently to old triggers. Sessions often include skills practice and reflection on repeated patterns.
He has worked with caregivers and people handling co-occurring problems such as anxiety with depression. Jorge also supports those dealing with abandonment and attachment concerns, guilt, shame, and the fallout from separation or divorce. He can work in English or Spanish.
People who come to him often want clearer communication, less reactivity, and a better sense of their own needs. To begin, he asks about current stressors and family history to shape a practical plan. He prefers short, direct sessions that connect history to present choices and actions.
Evidence-based approaches and remote sessions
Jorge works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. He often uses cognitive-behavioral style work to identify and change thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety and depression, helping people test new ways of responding to triggers.He also draws on approaches that address attachment and family history to map how early roles and expectations still influence relationships. These methods help people see repeated patterns and practice different ways of communicating and setting boundaries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jorge will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and current stresses. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills practice, exploration of family patterns, or a mix of both.
