Brenda Perea, LCSW

Brenda Perea is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado with 33 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, anger, and career difficulties. Her practice also addresses issues like jealousy, multicultural concerns, phobias, prejudice and discrimination, seasonal affective disorder, and sexual assault and abuse.

Brenda keeps sessions practical and skills-focused. She uses clear, direct conversation to help people manage emotional reactions and everyday problems. Expect someone who listens and helps identify steps to reduce reactivity, improve communication, and strengthen coping skills.

Her background includes long-term clinical work supporting people after traumatic events and during major life changes. Brenda draws on several approaches to tailor the work to what each person needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness to build present-moment awareness, and elements of trauma-focused work when past events affect current life.

Sessions often include teaching concrete skills, practicing new ways of responding, and checking what is working between meetings. Brenda also integrates strategies from dialectical behavior approaches to help with emotion regulation and from solution-focused methods to move toward practical goals.

She provides services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
