More about Jorge

  • 18 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

I am a Bi-lingual and Bi-cultural Licensed Clinical Social Worker/ psychotherapist with twenty three years of Clinical, Case-management and Social services experience in a variety of systems and with a variety of client populations. I am of Latino heritage and was raised and lived in Bridgeport Connecticut for many years. I am currently living in Miami Florida. I worked in the Miami Dade Public Schools as a clinician / social worker for 10 years. My most recent experience is working at a large primary care group practice where I founded a grassroots behavioral health care program that I managed and was the primary mental health clinician for. I also have a private therapeutic practice . I provide assessment and individual, couples, and family therapy for a variety of client concerns ranging from depression, bi-polar, schizophrenia, Panic/anxiety/ phobias/obsessive compulsive issues, couples relationship issues, as well as tobacco cessation, alcohol and other licit and illicit substance abuse treatment.

My treatment approach revolved around a full and thorough initial assessment, rapport building and the development of a good working therapeutic alliance . I also have a strong underpinning in Cognitive Behavioral therapy for short term approaches and psycho-dynamic therapies for a longer term approach.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
