About Jorge

Jorge Abreu is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York and New Jersey with 32 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma, grief, parenting strain, anger, and self-esteem issues. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and international clients are accepted.

He uses a humanistic, client-centered stance as a foundation. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person in front of him. He also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time.

Assessment is broad and practical. Jorge looks at biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors that affect daily life. He asks about work, family, health, relationships, and routines to understand how problems show up across different settings.

In sessions he aims to build a working partnership. That involves setting clear goals, trying concrete techniques, and reviewing what helps most. He can suggest mindfulness practices for stress and focused behavioral steps for mood and addictions.

People often come with mixed issues. He works through overlapping concerns like communication problems, codependency, body image, chronic illness, attachment or abandonment worries, and caregiving stress. His approach is practical and steady, focused on changes that affect everyday life.

BHow sessions work

How Jorge combines approaches for online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. It means the therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and works from the client's goals to guide sessions. This approach helps when someone wants practical support for relationship or life stress issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses exercises and homework to shift unhelpful thinking and build new behaviors, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and addictions.

Existential ideas and mindfulness practices may also be used to notice values, increase present-moment awareness, and manage stress related to life transitions. These approaches can help people who want to clarify priorities or reduce ongoing worry.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which approaches match the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can change over time as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different formats suit different practical needs, and Jorge will discuss what fits your schedule and goals.
