Anabel Perez

Anabel Perez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, compassion fatigue, and life changes. She also addresses attachment concerns, abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, and questions about life purpose.

Anabel uses a direct, personable style in sessions. She aims to be clear and practical rather than abstract. Conversations focus on what feels stuck, what patterns keep repeating, and what small changes might reduce distress or improve day-to-day functioning.

Sessions move between exploring personal history and trying specific strategies in the moment. She blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with compassion-focused work to help people better understand their reactions. The emphasis is on learning manageable skills and testing what works in real life.

Anabel pays attention to relational patterns such as attachment, control, and communication problems. She helps people unpack guilt, shame, isolation, jealousy, and forgiveness so they can make clearer decisions about relationships and responsibilities. Caregiver stress and dependent personality concerns are also part of her focus.

People who feel uncertain about their next steps - after a break in work, a loss, or a big life change - may find sessions useful for sorting priorities and building steady routines. She asks practical questions, sets small goals, and checks progress between meetings.

How evidence-based work and online sessions fit together

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear skills and patterns rather than vague promises. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. This kind of work is practical and problem-focused, useful when stress or worry gets in the way of daily functioning.

Another strand of her approach looks at attachment and relational patterns. That involves mapping repeating relationship styles, noticing where control or codependency show up, and practicing different ways of speaking and setting limits. This helps when communication problems, jealousy, or fear of abandonment shape choices more than you want them to.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapy process. She will work with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as needs shift.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people keep therapy going across life changes while focusing on practical, skills-based work rather than long lectures.
