About Jonnet
Jonnet Cruz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Hawaii with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering calm, practical guidance. Jonnet listens for what matters most and helps clients find steps that fit their lives.
She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family struggles, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, and issues around self-esteem and addiction.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, body image, and work or career transitions. EMDR is one of the methods she uses when trauma or distressing memories are part of the picture. In sessions she blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive and emotion-focused tools so people learn both understanding and new skills.
That can look like tracking patterns that keep someone stuck, practicing different ways to talk about feelings, and building simple coping strategies to reduce overwhelm. The emphasis is on practical steps rather than long explanations. Jonnet aims to make therapy clear and achievable.
She respects each person's story and invites collaboration on goals. Her background across many common life challenges means she can tailor methods to fit whatever a person brings to the room. Many clients come for help with relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, addiction recovery, or trauma processing.
She uses an approachable style to help people move from crisis or confusion toward steadier daily functioning.

Online support
How Jonnet blends approaches for online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns and emotional responses; it helps people understand why they react a certain way with loved ones and learn new ways to connect. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's own goals and experience, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space that helps people clarify what they want and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, shift mood, and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a shared effort. Jonnet will work together with each person to match methods to goals and preferences, adjusting plans over time as needs change. That collaborative process helps people try concrete tools while keeping the overall focus on what matters most to them.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and EMDR-influenced work when visibility helps, phone calls can fit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth situations, live chat allows short check-ins during the day, and text messaging supports brief updates and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or travel while maintaining consistent progress.
