About Jonnet
Jonnet Cruz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Hawaii and Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and addictions. Jonnet also supports those dealing with grief, intimacy issues, eating concerns, parenting strain, anger, career shifts, bipolar and depression. Her profile lists a broad set of additional focuses including attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, codependency, communication problems, and substance-related struggles.
Jonnet centers her work on the idea that clients know their own stories and bring strengths that matter in therapy. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches to help people name and work through emotional patterns. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical behavior therapy tools where helpful.
In sessions she helps people identify repeating interaction patterns and the emotions beneath them. That can mean practicing new ways to talk about needs, learning skills to manage intense feelings, or mapping how past experiences shape present choices. For many, this leads to different ways of relating to others and themselves.
Her background includes two decades of helping a wide age span and life stages, and she has experience with active duty service members and veterans. Jonnet’s practice reflects work with both mental health and relationship-related concerns, and she integrates several approaches to match what each person brings.
If you are considering therapy, she asks people to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the site. The process uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on noticing and working with strong emotions and interaction patterns. It helps people and partners name feelings and try new ways of responding to one another. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns that began in early relationships and how they show up now, which can be useful for relationship strain and attachment concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client's own perspective and choices, giving time for each person to shape the agenda and pace.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jonnet works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She may combine elements of EFT, attachment work, and skills-oriented strategies from CBT or DBT depending on what the client needs.
