About Adenia

Adenia Perez draws on an integrative, evidence-informed approach to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, ADHD, grief, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

As an LCSW with eleven years of clinical experience, she combines skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused techniques to tailor practical strategies and emotional processing to each person's needs.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and the client’s own strengths when addressing issues such as low self-esteem, mood difficulties, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and workplace challenges. Trained in community, school, and nonprofit settings, Adenia uses a blend of client-centered listening and structured therapeutic tools to support coping, decision-making, and behavior change.

She also works with concerns like impulsivity, isolation, communication problems, and life purpose, supporting people through pregnancy and childbirth, grief, financial stress, and forgiveness work. Bilingual in English and Spanish, she accepts international clients and adapts methods to fit diverse backgrounds and goals.

Adenia encourages a respectful, hopeful therapeutic experience focused on identifying achievable goals and building skills to move forward.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while building skills to accept difficult emotions; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that maintain distress and teaching concrete strategies to change them, which often helps with mood disorders, anxiety, and impulsivity. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses to improve connection and regulation, supporting work on grief, self-esteem, and relationship-related stress.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Adenia will work with each person to discuss goals, trial different methods when needed, and adjust the plan based on progress and personal preferences so therapy aligns with individual needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied communication styles. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, access care from different locations including international clients, and continue consistent support during periods of transition.
