Mauricio Perez

Mauricio Perez is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with 11 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and major life changes. He also lists life purpose, workplace issues, and multicultural concerns among his focus areas. Mauricio works in English and Spanish.

He spent over a decade living and working as a monk before entering social work. That time shaped how he notices patterns in thinking and behavior and how he balances big-picture meaning with everyday routines. He draws on those experiences when helping people who feel stuck or uncertain about what comes next.

Mauricio combines evidence-based techniques with mindfulness and insight-oriented approaches. In sessions he uses concrete strategies from cognitive-behavioral methods alongside reflective practices to help people manage symptoms and test new ways of responding. He aims for practical tools that fit into daily life.

His style is direct and collaborative. He listens for recurrent patterns that keep someone stuck and then works with them to try different moves in the moment and between sessions. Sessions focus on small, sustainable changes rather than sweeping promises.

People who come with questions about purpose, midlife transitions, addiction recovery, or coping after trauma often find sessions helpful for sorting priorities and reducing overwhelm. Mauricio invites each person to set goals and work at a pace that feels manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Mauricio commonly uses cognitive-behavioral methods to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and actions, and then practice different, more effective responses. CBT-style work is practical and often focuses on skills you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or manage urges related to addiction.

He also integrates mindfulness practices that teach simple attention and breathing exercises. These techniques can help with emotion regulation, reducing rumination, and staying present during stressful moments.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Mauricio will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, background, and daily routines. That means testing tools, adjusting them, and deciding together what feels most useful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online and in-person options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use video or phone to offer flexible session lengths and rhythms that match work and family demands.
