About Adenia
Adenia Perez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eleven years of experience. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress, manage anger, and improve mood. Adenia speaks English and Spanish and works with people across Arizona and internationally.
Adenia uses clear, hands-on methods to help people handle anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. She listens first, then offers tools drawn from evidence-informed approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based work.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and aimed at everyday life changes rather than clinical jargon. Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in social work and a Master of Social Work, and she has worked in schools, nonprofits, and community settings. That experience shaped her focus on practical problem solving and steady emotional support.
Adenia helps people who struggle with self-esteem, coping with change, caregiver stress, and workplace issues. In the room she centers the person’s goals and strengths. She helps clients notice unhelpful thinking, practice new behaviors, and choose actions that fit their values.
For parents she offers guidance on managing stress related to raising children and balancing responsibilities. People who work with her can expect a respectful, direct approach. Sessions aim to build skills for impulse control, forgiveness, communication, and managing guilt or shame.
Adenia encourages small, achievable steps and celebrates progress along the way.

Practical therapeutic approaches available online
Adenia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood.She also draws from Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-based space where the person’s priorities guide each session. Adenia will work together with clients to decide which approach or blend fits best, adapting her plan as goals and needs change.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule around work, childcare, or travel while keeping therapy consistent.
