About Dr.Claribel
Dr. Dr.Claribel Perez draws on two decades of clinical experience to offer practical, evidence-informed care rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside humanistic principles.
Background and approach
She is an LMHC practicing in Florida and frames treatment around building a collaborative therapist-client relationship that highlights strengths and personal values. Her work aims to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts, develop coping skills, and pursue realistic goals that support improved daily functioning and well-being.
Her approach is described as caring, structured, and supportive, with attention to education and skill-building. Sessions begin with focused listening to understand the client’s current situation and priorities, followed by jointly developed goals that can be adjusted as progress unfolds.
Over the course of therapy she integrates CBT tools with elements of client-centered and mindfulness-informed practice to address concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy difficulties, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, ADHD, parenting challenges, anger, and coping with life changes. Dr.
Perez also works with a range of additional concerns including chronic illness and pain, body image issues, aging and geriatric topics, communication and family problems, grief related to divorce or separation, and feelings of isolation or lack of life purpose. Her style emphasizes empowerment, practical strategies, and ongoing collaboration to help clients move toward meaningful change.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Dr. Perez often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and to develop practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns. She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening, validation, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship to support personal insight and growth. These approaches work together to address both immediate symptoms and longer-term patterns that affect daily functioning.Finding the right blend of techniques is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches best match their goals, needs, and preferences. That partnership guides how sessions are structured and which tools are prioritized, and goals are revisited and adjusted over time based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals while fitting therapy into busy lives, and they allow the therapist and client to work together on skills, problem solving, and behavioral experiments between sessions.
