About Jonnet
Jonnet Cruz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with two decades of clinical experience. She practices from Hawaii and brings a calm, direct style to sessions. Jonnet focuses on helping people facing relationship strain, stress, anxiety, trauma, and codependency concerns.
She emphasizes that each person knows their own story and strengths. In sessions she listens, asks practical questions, and helps clients notice patterns that keep problems repeating. The goal is to build clearer choices and better day-to-day coping skills.
Jonnet combines approaches that address both emotions and behavior. She draws on attachment ideas to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. She also uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Her work includes trauma-informed methods to help with intense memories and overwhelming reactions. Jonnet supports people working through grief, addiction, body image concerns, parenting stresses, and life transitions. She also addresses attention challenges and co-occurring mood concerns.
Over twenty years Jonnet has worked with a wide range of situations and life stages. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, focused on practical steps that fit everyday life. To begin, she asks clients about their goals and what they’d like to change, then tailors the work to fit those priorities.
How these approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current attachments and trust. In practical terms this means noticing how patterns from the past turn up in present relationships and trying new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s lead, helping them name what matters and find their own solutions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It offers concrete tools for changing thinking habits and practicing different behaviors between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jonnet will talk with each person about their needs and goals and together decide which methods fit best. That collaborative planning keeps sessions relevant and focused on practical change.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by cutting travel time, offering shorter check-ins, or allowing sessions during a work break. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to help with relationship patterns, trauma processing, anxiety, and everyday coping.
