About Jonnet
Jonnet Cruz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of clinical experience based in Hawaii. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps so parents and individuals can feel steadier day to day. Her style is direct but warm, aimed at helping clients manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and other life challenges.
Her work often centers on relationship patterns and attachment, using tools from Attachment-Based Therapy alongside the Gottman Method to address communication and connection.
Background and approach
She also draws on client-centered ideas to keep sessions grounded in each person's priorities and on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Jonnet has a broad clinical background that covers trauma and abuse, addiction, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, grief, self-esteem, parenting strains, and ADHD.
She also supports people facing blended-family stress, body image struggles, codependency, and separation or divorce matters. She describes clients as the experts on their own stories and builds plans from there. Sessions can include focused skill work, problem-solving, and deeper exploration of relationship patterns and attachment wounds.
Jonnet uses EMDR and other trauma-informed practices when appropriate and integrates approaches to match a client's goals. Her aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. People working with her can expect clear tools for coping, practical communication practice, and space to process difficult feelings.
She works in English and bases her practice in Hawaii, bringing two decades of experience to each client's concerns.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Jonnet uses the Gottman Method to help couples and partners improve communication and reduce conflict through structured conversations and focused exercises that build connection. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to notice and change patterns that come from early relationships, helping people feel safer in close ties. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the work grounded in the client's own goals, giving space for people to lead the pace and topics of sessions.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then combine methods as needed. That means sessions can shift toward skills-based work, deeper attachment repair, or supportive listening depending on progress and needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video is useful for interactive exercises and face-to-face conversation, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options give flexibility so people can keep momentum and practice new skills in real life.
