More about Jorge
- 32 years' experience

- LCSW
The decision to start the journey of introspection, self-evaluation and enhanced life is a serious and all-encompassing. The details of this journey are both rich in quality and complex in their uniqueness. However, harvesting the fruits of this labor is the sweetest recompense! The journey begins with an attempt, and a wish to connect to another. I can be that connection, and it remains my honor to partake in such journey!
I am dedicated to helping YOU achieve a meaningful and impactful therapeutic transformation, to reach and realize inherent potential and highest goals.
technically, my approach is humanistic-based, with behavioral cognitive and insight-oriented interventions. My assessments and evaluations, are comprehensive bio-psychosocial-spiritual, in nature. My goal is to establish a connection, whereby both the client and I will partner, addressing those aspects of life which present formidable obstacles, and/or repress growth. I do this through interventions that respect the client, and help empower the use of lessons learned to overcome symptoms; sabotaged relationships; difficulties at home/work/with significant others, while modifying target behaviors and thoughts.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I honestly love the relationship I’ve built with my therapist. He holds me accountable or myself and helps me to focus on ways to create a better version of me. This is the longest relationship I’ve had with a therapist and I wouldn’t trade it for the world!
A few years ago, I was simply existing, going through the motions of life, waiting to die. Took a chance on Jorge. Today I am more balanced than I have ever been, thanks to his patience, insight and support. I don’t know where I would be otherwise. Because of him, I can truly help myself. Thank you, Jorge.

Jorge is great and we got into some deep stuff right off the bat. Even the questions he asked before the first session were very eye opening for me. I strongly recommend him!

Jorge has been an awesome staple in me and my children’s lives. I am very thankful and blessed to have met and worked with him.
It has been a great journey. I am so thankful we crossed paths. I would recommend Jorge a million times. I have been in therapy a little over a year now. I have benefitted tremendously from our sessions and continue to grow in the understanding of who I am, what I want and what I need, to be the best version of myself.
Therapy is a journey. We guard secrets in boxes deep within our minds. Jorge seems to be intuitive and when trying to paints the whole picture can tell if you are withholding information. He definitely listens and shines perspective different than what you originally imagined. It's also like talking to someone with very sage advice.
Jorge is wonderful and incredibly sincere. I was going through a really rough time. He was so patient and helpful. Communicating with him brought me relief and comfort. Thank you, Jorge.
I have now been working with Jorge for over a year. Over that time many of life experiences have occurred. Just prior to my engaging Jorge, the death of one of my parents, death of my brother, then during the year relationship challenges with siblings, business successes and business failures, relationship successes and moving towards divorce, my mother living with dementia at times with me and at times in assisted living. Throughout all of these life experiences, Jorge has been a constant source of support. He is a supportive and insightful coach and challenging when appropriate. He has helped me make decisions with clarity and confidence. It’s been a very challenging year and Jorge has been a constant, consistent, listening and supportive advocate. He is an intellectual, he is smart and experienced. I highly recommend Jorge!
Jorge helps me see the big picture and keep steady on valuing myself. He shows me how my challenges demonstrate my strengths.
BetterHelp is lucky to have a counselor like Jorge Abreu to help those in need of assistance.
Jorge is amazing!
Jorge is the best counselor ever! Kind, thoughtful and very insightful. It doesn’t get better than Jorge.
I've written as much before, but Jorge is a skilled counselor with a very human and relatable approach. He is a fabulous listener and always gives thoughtful observations/thought starters about my statements. I love his illustrative approach when describing experiences. He has helped me to improve the quality of my life quite significantly.
Jorge is a wonderful counsellor. He listens, cares and gives good thorough advice. I have resolved with his help an issue that had been troubling me for years and after six months consulting I am now able to continue on my own, very grateful to Jorge.
Jorge has been a complete blessing.
I really enjoyed my time with Jorge! His mindful approach worked well for me and his advice he gave me through the messenger when I was in a time of deep stress was very helpful. I would certainly recommend him.

Jorge is one of the most experienced counselors around and you’d be lucky to have him. Consider yourself as having hit the BetterHelp therapy lottery and count your blessings to have such a kind, peaceful, and intelligent man as part of your support circle.
Jorge offers a sense of clarity in every message he sends. He talks about resources and tangible means of addressing my struggles. His availability is also more than generous. Though most importantly, he makes me feel heard and understood.
I've been working with Jorge for about a month now and look forward to our sessions, and always feel great after them. He is a great active listener and provides amazing advice without being pushy or judgmental.
Jorge is truly amazing. His insights from prior experiences and his ability to get you to think about a situation in a slightly new light really dive to the heart of the matter and what you are feeling. I am from a culture where therapy is frowned upon and dismissed as not needed. I have completely changed my idea of therapy thanks to Jorge.
A good listener and does not suggest, recommend, advise, or direct me. Rather, Jorge supports my own personal process, my way of experiencing my life and my finding my own path to my decisions and choices. When I'm too negative against myself, he offers a friendly corrective. He encourages me to try new levels of trusting, of having and acting on self-confidence. I have a lot of trust in him.
Simply wonderful!
I appreciate Jorge.
I am so grateful for Jorge. I have come a long way after all these months of therapy. His expertise, patience and the way he has helped me view things and understand them will forever benefit my approach to many things in life. I thank you dearly!
He's the best! He is professional and gets to the root of the problem with compassion and sensitivity. Clearly defines your goals and works with you to attain them. Highly recommended!
Jorge is incredible, very wise, calm and he speaks with authority and expertise. He’s great.
Mr. Abreu has helped me immensely. I have learned many techniques on how to better cope and process hostile environments and people. His techniques have helped and continue to help me with my anxiety and depression. To be honest I can be quite hard headed and hot headed and Mr. Abreu creates a safe space that also does not cater to my sometimes bs. He’s firm, but kind and caring and creates an atmosphere where I have to look deeply within myself. Inevitably that inward looking (while sometimes painful) is what is helping me to grow and heal my traumas. Also he introduced me to a new form of meditation that has helped me more than I can convey through written word on here. I highly recommend Mr. Abreu. His years of practice and diverse experience continue to help me solidify who I’ve always been meant to be.
I have only been in contact with Jorge for a few weeks but have found him very attentive and offering helpful counselling. I am grateful.
Mr. Abreu has been very helpful and understanding. He's a very good listener and is very patient and compassionate. I am very please with his services/advice. He asks excellent questions.
I love working with Jorge. He listens to my issues but consistently pushes me to solutions outside my comfort zone forcing me to address my problems rather than hide behind procrastination and lethargy. I would highly recommend him.
We have only had one session so far, but Jorge has been very responsive and has sent thoughtful replies to my messages. For the session that we did have, he has given great insights and advice. He is very blunt and uses colorful metaphors/stories to drive his points home. I appreciate his candor and his ability to hone-in on the real issues at hand. Highly recommended.
Jorge is the best! He is extremely knowledgeable and provides the most thorough advice. I have been going through a very hard time and I am coping extremely well thanks to his expertise. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!
Jorge has been very helpful this past year. He has been very attentive and assist with helping me find the best approach when handling a situation or mini crisis.
When I speak with Jorge, I have the confidence that I am receiving honest counseling on the issues I am facing, and the sentiments I am expressing.
Jorge has been a very constructive influence in my life. I mostly interacted with him trying to improve my focus and approach to my day-to-day life.
Jorge was extremely helpful during a very difficult time in my life, and helped me transform into a better version of myself. His calm expertise and experience was invaluable.
Smart, friendly, supportive, Jorge provides a range of supportive solutions and advice based on his broad experience.

Great.
Jorge has so far been able to listen to me without any judgement and that is what is important to me when seeking counseling.
I have been through a lot of traumatic experiences. I saw a counselor four years ago and I thought that person just made things worse and never tried to get help again. Jorge Abreu has restored my faith in counselors and really has made a difference. So I would like to say thank you to Jorge for the possibility of a future that is not my past! :)
Thank you.
Thorough.
