Adenia Perez

Adenia Perez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eleven years of experience helping people who are making changes in their lives. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and parenting challenges. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients.

Adenia approaches therapy in a straightforward, respectful way. She listens for what matters most and helps people set clear goals. Her background includes work in nonprofits, schools, and community settings, which shaped a practical, down-to-earth style.

She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. She also draws on client-centered and emotionally focused ideas to strengthen emotional awareness and communication. The work often combines skill practice with reflective conversation.

People who come to Adenia might be dealing with low self-esteem, negative self-talk, mood instability, impulsivity, or challenges tied to caregiving and life transitions. She also supports those facing workplace stress, compassion fatigue, and questions about life purpose and finances.

Her training began with a BA in social work and a Master of Social Work completed in 2012. Adenia emphasizes collaboration: she helps people identify steps they can take now, then reviews progress and adjusts the plan as needed. She invites anyone ready to start to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work

Adenia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT often focuses on small, practical steps to reduce avoidance and build meaningful routines.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT usually includes exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Adenia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts plans as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or caregiving. Online work can make it simpler to maintain continuity when life is busy or when travel is difficult. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking to see which meeting type best fits daily routines and technical needs.
