Many of her focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and pain, caregiving strain, and life transitions that come with midlife and later years.

In the first session she listens to your story and helps you set clear, practical goals. She works collaboratively, helping you identify strengths and small steps that make a difference. Sessions often include skill-building for anxiety, mood shifts, communication, and managing anger.

Dr. Perez explains things plainly and keeps sessions goal-oriented. She adapts plans as you progress and supports people in discovering a healthier sense of self. Her background in education informs a patient, explanatory way of teaching coping strategies.

If you are looking for steady support through a life change, illness, or challenges tied to aging, Dr. Perez combines talk therapy with practical techniques. To begin, follow the provider's intake steps and schedule a time to talk.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist provides space to share, reflects what matters to you, and helps you set goals that feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches ways to notice and change thinking patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood, and it includes practical exercises you can practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving how you handle stress and relationships.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. Dr. Perez will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences and help decide which methods to use. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works for you and what you want to focus on, from mood management to coping with aging-related changes.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people use audio-only options if they prefer not to be on camera, or schedule sessions around caregiving, medical appointments, or work breaks. Licensed professionals and therapists guide these choices so sessions match your lifestyle and goals.
