About Jonnet
Jonnet Cruz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Hawaii and Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, parenting, and related areas that often arise when households change.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people sort out what feels most urgent. Sessions often involve looking at how past relationships shape current responses. She also draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, emotionally-focused methods, and EMDR when appropriate.
Many people contact her about blended family issues, stepfamily adjustments, and co-parenting tensions. She helps individuals talk through boundaries, loyalty conflicts, and communication problems that come up when routines merge. The focus stays on manageable steps a person can take at home.
Her background includes two decades of practice across Hawaii and Florida settings. That experience informs a practical style that blends talking, problem-solving, and skill-building. Sessions may include reflection on patterns, role practice, and concrete behavior changes.
Sessions are conducted in English. The subscription billing approach is used for sessions and can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
Approaches used for online sessions and how they help
Jonnet uses attachment-based approaches to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. That focus helps when loyalty conflicts, separation anxiety, or trust issues come up in blended households. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies for changing unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted over time based on what the client reports.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people practice communication or boundary conversations in real life between sessions and bring those experiences back for discussion with the therapist.
