Adenia Perez , LCSW

Adenia Perez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience. She uses practical, relationship-based approaches to help people facing stressful life moments. Many people seek her out for anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, and women's issues.

Adenia draws on evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based strategies to help clients notice patterns and try small changes. Sessions often focus on clear skills people can use between meetings, such as breathing, new ways to talk to themselves, and concrete steps toward goals.

She favors a warm, nonjudgmental style and centers each person’s own priorities. Adenia treats clients as the expert in their story and helps them map strengths into workable plans. She also brings techniques from emotionally focused and client-centered approaches to deepen understanding of feelings and relationships.

Across community and school settings, Adenia has helped people manage mood disorders, cope with major life transitions, and reduce chronic stress. Her background includes supporting those dealing with caregiver strain, workplace problems, and struggles with guilt, shame, or impulsivity. She offers services in English and Spanish and works with clients in Arizona.

In sessions she will collaborate to set realistic goals and adjust strategies over time. People leave with simple tools for managing symptoms, clearer priorities, and step-by-step plans to try between appointments. Adenia aims to make therapy practical, understandable, and focused on everyday life changes.

How Adenia’s approaches translate to online work

Adenia often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and making life changes because it focuses on small actions that align with what matters most.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-based, helping with mood disorders, anxiety, and problem-solving in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Adenia will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, adjusting techniques over time based on what helps most.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat provide short check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or travel while keeping care consistent.
