Background and approach
Together they set clear, adjustable goals and track small steps forward. Dr. Perez also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness techniques when helpful.
These tools can help with intense emotions, self-regulation, and building healthier patterns of thinking and behavior. Solution-focused strategies are used to identify immediate, practical changes. She has additional experience supporting people with issues such as compassion fatigue, ADHD, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and body image.
Her background includes long work in education, which informs a patient, explanatory style in sessions. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled in several online formats. Costs vary by location and follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling happens based on therapist availability.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects back what she hears, and helps people identify their own strengths to solve problems.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses concrete exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) contributes practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Mindfulness techniques are often paired with these skills to improve attention and reduce reactivity.
Finding the best mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals and preferences, and adjust them over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client talk face to face. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a softer check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling and help fit therapy into busy days.
