About Dr.Claribel
Dr. Dr.Claribel Perez is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and self-esteem problems. She also lists compassion fatigue, ADHD, anger, depression, and coping with life changes among her focus areas.
Dr. Perez prefers a collaborative, person-focused way of working. Early sessions center on listening and gathering a clear picture of the current situation. She then helps clients set practical goals and adjusts them as progress is made.
Her practice combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered ideas and psychoeducation. That means she helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, learn skills to manage emotions, and build on personal strengths. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools are used when they fit a client’s needs.
Sessions typically begin with a careful review of the person’s concerns and priorities. The therapist and client work together to choose techniques that make sense for daily life and specific goals. Dr. Perez emphasizes concrete strategies such as thought work, coping skills, and communication practice.
She draws on two decades of experience while keeping the work straightforward and practical. People who find social situations, speaking up, or meeting new people hard may find this approach helpful in addressing anxiety and related problems. The focus is on manageable steps and clear skill-building rather than jargon or abstract theory.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Dr. Perez uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that get in the way of daily life. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, reflecting back what a person says, and supporting the person’s own problem-solving and strengths.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals and preferences with each person and recommend techniques that fit those needs. That collaboration means plans can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also permits using mindfulness exercises, CBT worksheets, and skills practice in real-life contexts while keeping the focus practical and goal-oriented.
