About Brenda
Brenda Perea is a licensed clinical social worker with 33 years of experience helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. She practices from Colorado and offers therapy in both English and Spanish. People come to her for a range of concerns, including trauma, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship or parenting strain.
Brenda keeps sessions straightforward and focused on practical skills. She emphasizes respect and compassion and works to create a calm, supportive space.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and nonjudgmental and she often teaches coping tools clients can use between sessions. Her work includes evidence-informed approaches that are adapted to each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered methods to honor people’s priorities and uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address thoughts and behaviors that fuel stress and anger.
Mindfulness skills and emotion regulation strategies are part of her toolkit for daily coping. Brenda also has experience helping people process trauma and painful memories. She incorporates trauma-focused methods when appropriate and moves at a pace the client can tolerate.
She helps people build safety, reduce reactivity, and regain control over day-to-day functioning. Sessions are offered in multiple formats to fit busy lives, and Brenda supports clients who live outside the United States. She aims to help people find clearer thinking, steadier mood, and more satisfying ways of handling difficult situations.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Brenda often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, anger, or low mood. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, useful for stress, anger management, and everyday mood concerns.She also employs Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the person’s priorities. This approach helps people feel understood and safer to talk through painful topics and make choices that fit their values.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brenda will talk with each person about their goals, history, and preferences, then suggest strategies to try. That process is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow more face-to-face interaction, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing processing between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel, or family schedules.
