About Jonnet
Jonnet Cruz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Hawaii with twenty years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction, and parenting challenges. Jonnet listens carefully and helps clients figure out what matters most to them.
Her style centers on understanding emotions and connection. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings shape relationships and Attachment-Based Therapy to trace patterns that began in early bonds.
Background and approach
Jonnet also draws on client-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral techniques to build practical skills for day-to-day life. In sessions she pays attention to patterns of interaction and to what people feel in the moment. She helps clients name emotions, notice how they react, and try new ways of responding.
That work can help with intimacy issues, communication problems, and repeating cycles that lead to anger or withdrawal. Jonnet has worked across a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, eating and body image struggles, ADHD, bipolar and mood concerns, substance issues, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing life transitions, career stress, and challenges tied to identity and sexuality.
Her approach is collaborative and pragmatic. Clients can expect clear goals, a focus on emotional experience, and tools they can use between sessions. Jonnet aims to help people feel more connected to themselves and to the people they care about.

Online support
Emotion and Attachment Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and shifting the feelings that shape how people relate. It helps people and partners notice emotional patterns, express needs more clearly, and create more stable connections. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence present relationships and reactions. It helps people recognize long-standing patterns like fear of abandonment or avoidance, and then try new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. That means trying techniques, checking in about what helps, and adjusting the plan together. Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when clients prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style moments, or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, keep momentum between meetings, and access consistent care from a licensed professional without needing to travel to an office.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
