Rudolpho Perez

Rudolpho Perez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 16 years of professional experience. He works primarily with adults and helps people facing emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. His practice often addresses issues such as grief, addiction, family conflict, gender concerns, and end-of-life matters.

Rudolpho uses an integrative Gestalt approach that draws on person-centered therapy. He also incorporates cognitive behavioral methods and dialectical behavior ideas to help people notice patterns and try practical changes. Sessions often include talking through thoughts, practicing coping skills, and reflecting on how past relationships affect current choices.

He brings trauma-focused CBT and psychodynamic principles into work when those tools fit a person’s goals. The Seeking Safety model and recovery-oriented practices are used with clients dealing with substance use and co-occurring issues. Rudolpho pays attention to family dynamics when that context is part of the problem.

People who come with worries about aging and geriatric issues, cancer or hospice concerns, HIV/AIDS, or gender dysphoria will find these topics reflected in his experience. He also addresses infidelity, divorce and separation, communication problems, guilt and shame, emptiness, and kink or alternative sexual cultures.

Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. The practice uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time; cost varies with location. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Rudolpho draws on Gestalt therapy to help people increase awareness of their present experience and relationships. This approach focuses on noticing patterns in feelings and behavior in the moment and trying small experiments to see what changes. Gestalt is often useful for people who feel stuck, empty, or disconnected from their choices.

He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and test unhelpful thoughts and to practice concrete coping skills. CBT methods are practical and problem-focused, and can help with anxiety, depression, and substance-related challenges. Elements from Seeking Safety are used when addressing trauma and recovery from addiction, focusing on safety, skills, and relapse prevention in straightforward, teachable steps.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals and preferences with each person and try approaches that match their needs. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what works and what does not, with the client involved in choosing next steps.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are available before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier and let sessions fit around work, treatment, or caregiving responsibilities. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when that is helpful, or let someone join without needing travel time. Licensed professionals use online sessions to maintain regular contact and practical momentum toward a client’s goals.
