About Mauricio
Mauricio Perez is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with 11 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and major life transitions. He works with individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about next steps and who want practical help to change daily patterns.
Mauricio brings an unusual background to his clinical work: he spent over a decade as a monk living and working abroad. That period shaped how he notices repeated patterns in thinking and behavior, and it also influenced his interest in practical practices that people can use between sessions.
His sessions are direct and collaborative. He mixes cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness-based practices, and insight-oriented conversation to help people both understand problems and try small, doable changes. Mauricio places attention on everyday steps that can reduce distress and improve functioning at work and at home.
He often supports people dealing with control issues, workplace stress, isolation or loneliness, addictions, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety and phobia. He also addresses issues such as guilt and shame, multicultural concerns, and coping with disasters or prejudice.
Mauricio offers therapy in English and Spanish. He practices in Washington and holds a WA LICSW credential. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session formats and any logistical details directly through the booking flow.
Approaches and how online work fits
Mauricio commonly uses cognitive-behavioral approaches that focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing out different behaviors. CBT-style work can help with anxiety, social fears, and patterns that keep people stuck.He also draws on mindfulness-based practices, offering simple attention and breathing exercises people can use to reduce reactivity. Mindfulness can be useful for managing stress, cravings, and moments of overwhelm.
Mauricio combines those with insight-oriented conversation that looks at longer-standing patterns and values. That work aims to clarify what matters to the person and to connect small changes to bigger life goals.
Choosing the right mix is collaborative. The therapist will work with the person to figure out which approaches match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often include practical homework and check-ins so people can see what helps between meetings.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try techniques in the settings where their challenges occur, then discuss what worked in the next session.
