About Jonnet
Jonnet Cruz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of clinical experience. She greets clients warmly and focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addiction, mood disorders, and parenting challenges. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at helping people make changes that feel doable.
Jonnet works from attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns that started in close relationships.
Background and approach
She combines that with client-centered care so sessions center on each person’s goals and pace. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. In sessions she listens for strengths and builds on what already works in a person’s life.
She offers concrete tools for coping with intense emotions, managing mood swings, and handling conflict. Parents can expect help with blended family issues, communication problems, and setting steady boundaries. Her background spans two states, and she brings two decades of experience to the work.
That experience includes helping people with trauma, abandonment, dissociation, substance use problems, eating concerns, and issues related to intimacy and commitment. She emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes. Jonnet takes a collaborative stance in therapy.
She helps people set clear goals, tries out approaches together, and adjusts as needed. Sessions aim to be understandable, practical, and focused on real-life changes.

Online support
Attachment and Skills-Focused Therapy Online
Jonnet draws on attachment-based therapy to help people see how relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions; this approach looks at connection and trust issues and how those patterns affect current relationships. She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and shaping sessions around each person's goals and pace, helping people feel heard and supported while they map change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, used alongside those approaches, focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jonnet collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps people try tools that suit their life and check in on what's working.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, school, or family. Video calls let therapists observe nonverbal cues and do deeper work, while phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to share brief updates, get coaching between sessions, or keep therapy going during busy days. These options help people fit consistent care into their schedules and continue the same therapeutic approach across different formats.
