Helen Perez-Boyd

Helen Perez-Boyd is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York. She has nine years of clinical practice experience and brings a warm, nonjudgmental presence to sessions. Helen focuses on helping people who are struggling with relationship stress, family conflicts, trauma, and anger among other concerns.

Her background includes work in employee assistance programs and preventive services, where she provided ongoing clinical care and case management for workers facing performance and stress issues. She has also worked in substance abuse outpatient settings, offering counseling to both adolescents and adults. That range gives her experience with mood, addiction, and coping challenges.

In sessions she acts as a facilitator rather than an authority. She listens closely and helps people set practical goals. Helen draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space, and uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients find realistic next steps.

She also has an interest in personality disorders and currently runs two online support groups focused on survivors and on people exploring self-awareness and behavior change. These groups complement her individual work and provide additional chances to practice new skills.

Overall, Helen aims to help people reduce overwhelm, improve relationships, and build clearer paths forward. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative, with attention to what people want to change in their lives.

How Helen’s approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting conversation. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what you say, and helps you notice what matters most. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and grief.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses gentle questions and reflection to build motivation for things like substance use, sticking with goals, or shifting eating behaviors. It helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that add up. Sessions emphasize clear goals and the next doable step. That approach is often used for stress, career decisions, and everyday conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of how she works. Helen will collaborate with each person to choose what feels most helpful based on needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adapts as progress is made.
