About Jorge
Jorge Rivas-Carrillo is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He works in English and Spanish and brings 13 years of practice to each session. Jorge focuses on practical steps that fit daily life and personal values.
He starts by listening to what feels hardest right now. Sessions often include talking through strong emotions, spotting patterns that keep problems going, and trying small behavior changes.
Background and approach
Jorge pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns that can show up in relationships. Jorge also helps people cope with caregiver stress, immigration-related stress, and family of origin issues. He supports those dealing with divorce, separation, or the fallout from domestic violence.
Work on guilt, shame, forgiveness, and control issues is offered in clear, step-by-step ways. Therapy can include short-term skills for panic or anxiety and longer work on underlying patterns tied to dependent personality or commitment worries. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work rather than a single fixed method.
People choose Jorge when they want direct, culturally aware help for everyday struggles and deeper emotional work. Sessions may focus on communication problems, co-morbidity of conditions, or building resilience after loss. He aims to make therapy understandable and useful for daily life.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Jorge uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and understanding patterns. One approach helps people learn breathing and grounding skills, thought tracking, and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and panic. This method targets immediate symptoms and teaches tools that can be used between sessions.Another strand of his work looks at attachment and abandonment issues by mapping relationship patterns and how they affect current reactions. This helps people recognize recurring dynamics and try different ways of communicating and relating that feel safer and more effective.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jorge will work with each person to identify which techniques match their goals, needs, and preferences. He adjusts pacing and methods as the work progresses so the plan fits the client rather than the other way around.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins or brief work during a busy day. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.
