About Adenia
Adenia Perez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing with eleven years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and difficulties with self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients while based in Arizona.
Adenia draws on several approaches to help people who are navigating life changes. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to look at emotions and relationship patterns, and she blends that with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when helpful. She also incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and client-centered methods to support practical coping skills and clearer thinking.
Her background includes work in nonprofits, schools, and community settings. Over eleven years she has supported people dealing with trauma, mood disorders, identity questions, and difficult transitions. She has formal training in CBT, behavior modification, DBT principles, narrative therapy, strengths-based work, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods.
In sessions Adenia focuses on straightforward, respectful conversation about goals and steps forward. She helps people name emotions, test unhelpful thoughts, and try new behaviors between meetings. She also supports parents coping with childcare stress, caregiving strain, and the pressure of career and money worries.
People who choose her can expect a collaborative approach that emphasizes clear plans and skills practice. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set goals and plan ongoing work.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Adenia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people notice and name strong emotions and the patterns those feelings create. EFT can be useful for addressing emotional blocks, attachment-related worries, and intense reactions that are hard to put into words. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build willingness to try new actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT helps people move toward meaningful goals while accepting normal discomfort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides straightforward tools to spot and test unhelpful thoughts and to practice different behaviors between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adenia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their situation, goals, and preferences. That may mean focusing on emotions in one phase, then switching to skill practice or values-based work in another. The plan is adjusted as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins, phone-based sessions when lower bandwidth helps, or video meetings when visual feedback is useful. Licensed professionals can use these formats to fit therapy into everyday life while focusing on goals, coping skills, and emotional awareness.
