About Adenia
Adenia Perez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eleven years of clinical experience. She practices in Arizona and works with people who are facing anxiety, depression, grief, parenting stress, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make beginning therapy as straightforward as possible.
Adenia focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions. She uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and acceptance and commitment therapy to identify values and small steps toward them.
Background and approach
She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused ideas to help people regulate strong emotions and improve relationships. Her background includes work in nonprofits, schools, and community settings. That variety shaped a down-to-earth style that favors clear goals and realistic plans.
Clients can expect sessions that are collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to everyday challenges like work stress, parenting demands, and adjustment after loss. Adenia has supported people dealing with compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, social anxiety, and identity questions. She also helps with issues such as anger, impulsivity, financial worries, and finding life purpose.
Her approach combines skill-building with empathic listening and practical problem solving. She encourages people to name one small next step and to test what works in real life. Beginning therapy is framed as a partnership where the person’s priorities guide each session.
Adenia’s aim is to help people gain more confidence, clearer direction, and better tools for coping.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Adenia uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that feed anxiety and depression, then practice new responses. CBT is focused and action-oriented, often involving short exercises and homework that fit well into online sessions.She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings appear. ACT tools can be practiced in brief video or text exchanges and reinforced between appointments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining elements of CBT, ACT, or emotionally-focused strategies and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging make shorter check-ins and on-the-go coaching possible. These options help people fit counseling into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
