About Adenia
Adenia Perez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina and Arizona with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, anger, career transitions, and ADHD. She works with adults who are navigating everyday pressures at home and at work.
She helps people clarify what matters to them and what gets in the way. Sessions blend straightforward talk with practical strategies. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness and acceptance-based practices to reduce struggle with difficult feelings.
Her background includes work in nonprofits, schools, and community settings. That range shaped a practical approach to problems like caregiver stress, workplace issues, isolation, and financial worries. She also supports people coping with pregnancy and childbirth concerns and mood instability.
Adenia uses therapies that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy principles, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas. She mixes these methods to suit what a person says they need and what they want to change.
She speaks English and Spanish. People who choose her often want clear tools they can use between sessions and a steady, respectful clinician to work with as they try new ways of handling family and parenting stress. To begin, she asks people to identify goals and to try small, concrete steps toward them.
How sessions work
How Adenia uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking action even when feelings are difficult. It can help with anxiety, parenting stress, and making forward steps in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy principles emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills support people who struggle with intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.
Confirm session formats before booking, since this profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, not needing to travel, or using phone-only contact when video is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices to remote sessions so people can try new skills at home and report back in the next meeting.
