Dr. Dr.Claribel Perez, LMHC

Dr. Dr.Claribel Perez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who brings 20 years of clinical experience to her practice. She goes by Dr. Claire and aims to create a caring, structured environment where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, and life changes. Her voice is calm and direct, and she focuses on helping people find strengths they can use day to day.

Dr. Claire centers her work on building a trusting relationship and on practical problem solving. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered ideas and mindfulness tools to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions begin with listening to the person’s story, then setting clear, flexible goals together.

Her background includes two decades of counseling experience and prior work in education, which shapes a psycho-educational approach to therapy. She offers guidance, emotional support, and skills practice rather than quick fixes. That practical focus is useful for someone managing chronic pain, illness, life transitions, or ongoing mood concerns.

Dr. Claire also works with people facing intimacy-related struggles, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, parenting stresses, grief, and issues tied to aging or body image. She uses structured exercises and gentle reflection to help clients move toward clearer purpose and healthier habits.

People who choose her can expect collaboration, goal-setting, and tools they can try between sessions. The work is paced to individual needs, with goals adjusted as progress is made.

How these approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s concerns and choices first, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help the client name needs and priorities. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationship worries, and feeling understood.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It uses short exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and handle challenging thoughts in everyday life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening communication. It can be useful for anger, emotional overwhelm, and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That process may include trying a few techniques and adjusting over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cutting out travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or after work. If you plan to begin, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. The focus online remains the same - listening, skill-building, and setting practical goals tailored to the person’s everyday routines.
