About Adenia

Adenia Perez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eleven years of clinical experience helping people navigate significant life transitions and emotional challenges.

Background and approach

She integrates evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with client-centered and emotion-focused techniques to address issues like anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and compassion fatigue. Fluent in English and Spanish, she brings a collaborative attitude that honors each person’s strengths while identifying practical steps toward change.

Her background includes work across nonprofit, school, and community settings, where she supported clients facing mood disorders, self-esteem difficulties, trauma histories, and ADHD-related struggles. Adenia emphasizes a respectful, genuine therapeutic relationship and helps clients clarify goals, challenge unhelpful thinking, and build coping skills.

Based in Arizona with licensure in multiple states, she offers a flexible approach tailored to individual needs and life circumstances.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill development; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and build psychological flexibility by combining mindfulness strategies with committed action toward meaningful goals. Client-centered therapy centers on empathic listening and unconditional positive regard to create a collaborative space where clients can explore feelings and gain insight into their experiences.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Adenia works together with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve. This partnership helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from home or other convenient locations. These options can make it easier to maintain consistency in treatment, fit sessions into busy schedules, and use different formats for skills practice, check-ins, or more in-depth conversational work.
