About Jorge

Jorge Rivas-Carrillo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, FL LCSW, with 13 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida.

Jorge helps people who are dealing with anger that shows up at home or work, ongoing resentment, or quick temper reactions. He also addresses related issues like abandonment fears, attachment difficulties, communication problems, and caregiver stress. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than labels or jargon.

His style is direct and culturally aware. He listens for how past relationships and family of origin issues shape current reactions. He pays attention to how immigration history, guilt, shame, or domestic violence experiences can affect mood and interpersonal behavior.

Jorge uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people process strong emotions and improve day-to-day functioning. He works on skills for recognizing triggers, managing impulses, and repairing communication after conflicts. Practical skill building is paired with careful discussion of personal history when that helps.

He supports people navigating life changes such as divorce or separation, commitment concerns, and midlife challenges. The work may cover forgiveness, rebuilding confidence, and finding consistent ways to handle stress. To start, he asks about what is most disruptive now and what a more manageable day looks like.

How sessions work

Evidence-based techniques and online sessions

Jorge draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address strong emotions and relationship patterns. One approach focuses on skill building for emotion regulation and impulse control, teaching practical steps to notice triggers, slow responses, and practice alternative actions. Another approach examines attachment and family of origin issues to show how past relationships influence current anger and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jorge collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. He adjusts the mix of skills training and deeper exploration as progress unfolds so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals often use online sessions to keep therapy consistent with everyday life and schedule constraints.
