About Anabel
Anabel Perez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with five years of practice. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, life transitions, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on issues like attachment wounds, codependency, guilt, shame, and isolation.
Perez prefers a direct and human approach in sessions. She aims to be straightforward while remaining supportive. Sessions involve practical conversation about patterns, emotions, and behavior rather than abstract theory.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside compassion-focused ideas to help clients build steadier emotional responses. That combination is meant to help people understand why they react a certain way and try out new habits. The therapist encourages small, doable steps that fit into daily life.
In the room she treats relationships and communication as behaviors that can change with practice. She talks through attachment and abandonment concerns in plain terms and helps clients notice how those patterns affect trust and closeness. Work on self-worth, boundaries, and forgiveness is presented with concrete tasks and reflection.
Sessions also address caregiver stress and role-related strain, including burnout and feeling overwhelmed by responsibility. For those unsure how to begin, she guides a first meeting toward clear next steps, goals, and what to expect from follow-up work.
Approaches used in online sessions and what they do
She combines clear, evidence-based therapeutic techniques with compassion-focused ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. One common technique involves learning to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or shame active, then practicing small behavioral changes to reduce their hold. This helps with social worry, avoidance, and repetitive negative thinking.Another practical approach focuses on attachment and relational patterns. It looks at how early relationships shape current expectations and interaction styles, and then uses in-session discussion and real-life experiments to try new ways of relating. This can help when fear of abandonment, jealousy, or codependency gets in the way of connection.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to figure out which techniques fit a person’s goals and preferences, and adjusts plans as progress is reviewed together.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce time spent traveling, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits can help people try therapy without rearranging their whole day.
