Adenia Perez

Adenia Perez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eleven years of practice helping people through major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on broad clinical experience to help clients facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and career questions. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people set goals and take next steps.

Adenia earned a BA in social work from Lehman College and a Master of Social Work from Hunter College in 2012. She has worked in nonprofits, schools, and community settings. Those roles shaped a practical approach to real-life problems like workplace issues, money stress, and caregiver strain.

In sessions she emphasizes listening and collaboration. She treats clients as the expert on their own life and helps them use their strengths. Conversations focus on clear goals, workable plans, and skills people can use between meetings.

Her work includes helping people with parenting stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, relationship communication problems, and feelings of isolation. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, guilt and shame, or challenges around pregnancy and childbirth.

Adenia uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She aims to make therapy a positive, respectful experience and to help people build practical strategies for coping and growth.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work

Adenia often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them, accept difficult feelings, and take action toward chosen values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and building new coping skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic behaviors.

She approaches selection of methods collaboratively. During early sessions she will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together the client and therapist shape a plan and try approaches that match the person's needs and pace.

Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel and making scheduling easier. Online work can make shorter check-ins, goal reviews, and skills practice easier to fit into a lunch break or workday. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm what kinds of online or in-person meetings are available before booking. The focus online remains practical: set clear goals, practice skills between sessions, and adjust approaches as needed to make progress.
