About Jonnet
Jonnet Cruz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Hawaii and Florida with 20 years of experience. She focuses on concerns common in early adulthood such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family strain, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and challenges like career and life changes. Jonnet also works with issues including addiction, grief, intimacy, eating concerns, bipolar and depression, and ADHD-related struggles.
She frames therapy around the client’s story and strengths. Sessions tend to be collaborative and practical. Jonnet uses approaches that help people name patterns, build coping skills, and shift difficult interactions or internal reactions.
Her background includes long experience across community and clinical settings, with work addressing trauma, motivation, and confidence. Over two decades she has worked with adults and other populations in contexts that involved complex family and relational issues. She brings that breadth into individual work with young adults navigating new stages of life.
In sessions she draws on methods such as attachment-informed work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, emotionally focused techniques, and client-centered ways of listening and responding. Those tools are used to tackle problems like abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency, communication problems, and co-occurring substance concerns.
People often come for help when feeling stuck after school, starting new jobs, dealing with relationship shifts, or struggling with mood or focus. Jonnet aims to help people clarify what matters, reduce overwhelming reactions, and develop steadier ways of managing daily life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and early bonds, helping people notice how those patterns affect current connections and reactions. It is useful for issues like abandonment, attachment wounds, and relationship conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then practicing new skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and coping struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit best given their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change over time as practical work and feedback guide the plan.
