About Jorge
Jorge Abreu is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 32 years of experience based in New Jersey. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, anger, and self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and international clients are accepted.
He uses a mix of practical methods that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered approaches, psychodynamic ideas, existential thinking, and mindfulness. In sessions he focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns of behavior. He helps people try concrete changes and notice what happens when they respond differently.
His work begins with a broad assessment that looks at biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors. From there he and the client set clear targets such as reducing anxiety symptoms, improving communication, managing cravings, or processing grief. Therapy often involves short exercises between meetings and clear strategies to test new habits.
Jorge describes his role as a partner who challenges stuck patterns and supports practical steps forward. He pays attention to relationship dynamics and attachment issues when they show up. He also addresses concerns like body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and blended family dynamics when relevant.

How his approaches translate to online work
Jorge draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to focus on clear problems and measurable steps. CBT sessions typically involve spotting unhelpful thoughts, testing new responses, and using brief exercises between meetings to track progress. Client-centered work emphasizes the client’s perspective and priorities, with the therapist listening for what matters most and reflecting it back to guide choices.He also uses existential and mindfulness ideas when issues involve meaning, life transitions, or sustained distress. Existential elements help people look at values and choices. Mindfulness practices support attention and emotion regulation during stressful moments. Finding the right mix is collaborative - he will work with each person to settle on approaches that fit their goals and preferences.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel and can reduce time spent commuting. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, while others use regular-length sessions to work through deeper issues. Discussing practical scheduling needs and session length helps identify what will fit day-to-day life.
