About Dr.Claribel
Dr. Dr.Claribel Perez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. She uses a caring, structured approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD-related concerns, depression, and relationship struggles.
Dr. Perez emphasizes cooperation and practical steps so clients can move forward at a comfortable pace. She begins by listening closely to each person's story and current challenges.
That first meeting focuses on gathering information and shaping goals together.
Background and approach
Goals are practical and may change as progress is made. Her work draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and build more effective habits. She also brings elements of dialectical behavior and mindfulness skills when emotion regulation or moment-to-moment awareness is needed.
Solution-focused strategies are used to highlight strengths and immediate steps clients can take between sessions. Sessions are described as supportive and resourceful, with attention to emotional safety and nonjudgmental listening. Dr.
Perez helps people explore intimacy and self-esteem concerns, cope with grief or life changes, and manage compassion fatigue and burnout. She also addresses longer-term issues like trauma, chronic illness, and mood disorders. Practical tools, guided reflection, and homework are often part of the process so people can practice new skills outside sessions.
Her style is collaborative - clients and the therapist work together to find approaches that fit each person’s needs and daily life.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Dr. Perez often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral methods. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore concerns at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thought patterns and practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.She may also use dialectical behavior techniques when strong emotions or impulsive reactions are a concern. DBT-style skills teach concrete strategies for managing intense feelings, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. Together these approaches offer both understanding and tools for real-life situations.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then she and the client decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed during treatment.
Online therapy with Dr. Perez is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a shorter break or lower bandwidth situations, and live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins and skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the work focused on practical change.
