Dr. Dr.Claribel Perez , LMHC

Dr. Dr.Claribel Perez uses client-centered care as the foundation of her work. She combines that approach with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people manage stress, anxiety, and challenges around intimacy. Dr. Perez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC in Florida with twenty years of experience. She goes by Dr. Claire and speaks English.

Her sessions begin with listening. The first meeting focuses on understanding the person's situation and what matters most to them. From there she collaborates on clear, adjustable goals that match each person's needs and pace.

In practical terms Dr. Perez helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, test new behaviors, and practice skills that reduce distress. She also works on relationship patterns, self-esteem, parenting stress, and the emotional effects of trauma or health issues. Mindfulness tools are used to calm strong emotions and bring attention back to the present.

Her style is warm and structured. She offers emotional support while guiding people to identify strengths and small changes that add up over time. People looking for help with coping, depression, anger, or life transitions will find a straightforward approach aimed at real-life improvements.

Dr. Perez also attends to concerns common in later life, chronic illness, body image, and cancer-related stress. She frames progress as a step-by-step process and adjusts plans as clients move forward.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Dr. Perez draws on client-centered work to build a trusting relationship and on cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-centered work focuses on listening, understanding personal goals, and shaping goals together. Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify negative thinking patterns and replace them with more useful responses for anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also uses mindfulness-based practices to help people notice sensations and emotions without becoming overwhelmed. Mindfulness exercises can reduce reactivity and improve attention in everyday moments, which supports work on anger, trauma responses, and coping with chronic health concerns. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative; she will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adapt methods as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill teaching, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and to continue progress even when schedules change.
