About Adenia

Adenia Perez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eleven years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, parenting challenges, ADHD, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients while practicing from Arizona.

Her work focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help manage strong reactions and reduce patterns that lead to snapping or resentment. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and emotionally-focused ideas to help people name their values and communicate more clearly.

Perez has worked in nonprofits, schools, and community settings. That background informs a problem-solving approach that is grounded in everyday life. She often helps people sort parenting stress, workplace frustration, and the guilt or shame that keeps emotions bottled up.

In sessions she emphasizes clear goals and small experiments to test new habits. Conversations may include learning skills for regulating emotions, changing unhelpful thoughts, or practicing better communication. She encourages people to notice what works and adjust their plan as they go.

How sessions work

How her approaches work for online sessions

Adenia commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and learn to carry on with actions that align with those values, which can reduce rumination about anger. CBT focuses on spotting thought patterns that fuel upset and testing changes in thinking and behavior to reduce strong reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the plan if something isn’t helping.

The original biography does not spell out which session formats she offers, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it easier to meet during a lunch break or between commitments. Licensed professionals can use these formats to practice new skills, track progress, and keep momentum between sessions without promising a specific format here.
