Dr. Dr.Claribel Perez, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Dr.Claribel

Dr. Dr.Claribel Perez uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, and emotional pain. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC - practicing in Florida with 20 years of experience.

Dr. Perez keeps sessions direct and compassionate so people can talk about what matters and start making small changes that fit their lives. Her work blends straightforward techniques and listening.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot and change unhelpful thinking, and uses Client-Centered methods to make space for each person to be heard.

Background and approach

Mindfulness and Solution-Focused ideas are also part of the mix, giving practical tools to manage strong feelings and move toward clearer goals. In early sessions she asks about current concerns and priorities, then helps set clear, flexible goals. The focus is on strength building and realistic steps rather than labels.

Sessions aim to teach skills for coping with anger, depression, parenting stress, trauma-related symptoms, and life transitions. Dr. Perez communicates in plain language and works collaboratively.

She explains options, practices skills in-session, and assigns simple steps to try between meetings. Her style is warm and structured, offering guidance while centering the client’s own values and choices. She provides services through formats that include video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and she sees people who speak English in Florida.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit daily life

Dr. Perez commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and problem-solving in everyday situations. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, letting the person lead the pace of change while the therapist offers reflective feedback and support.

She also brings elements of Solution-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness into online sessions when they match a person’s goals. Solution-Focused ideas focus on what a person wants to achieve and small steps that build momentum. Mindfulness practices help people notice emotions and bodily sensations so they can respond rather than react. Choosing which approaches to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will talk through options and tailor methods to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy here is designed for flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions suit those on the go, and live chat or text-based messaging work for shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
