About Anabel
Anabel Perez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and depression. She also supports people facing life transitions and the exhaustion that comes from caregiving or compassion fatigue. Her tone is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make therapy feel like a real conversation with a real person.
She works with people who grew up in chaotic or emotionally intense homes and who still carry that weight. Sessions focus on understanding how past patterns show up today. The goal is to help clients feel steadier and more in control of their choices.
Anabel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside compassion-focused work. That means she combines practical, research-backed methods with attention to self-kindness and inner emotional experience. This mix is used to address issues like attachment wounds, codependency, control and communication problems, and feelings of isolation.
In the room she is direct but supportive. Conversations are practical - identifying patterns, trying new ways of relating, and practicing small changes between sessions. She frames difficulties like guilt, shame, jealousy, or fear of abandonment as things that can be noticed and gradually shifted.
With five years of clinical experience in Florida, Anabel brings steady, realistic guidance. She speaks English and uses a collaborative approach to set goals that match each person’s life and pace. To begin, clients follow the site’s start steps and schedule according to availability.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Evidence-based techniques are used to guide practical change. One common strand is cognitive-behavioral style work, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety active and teaches concrete ways to shift them. This kind of work helps with worry, low mood, and unhelpful habits around relationships.Another strand is compassion-focused work, which centers on building self-kindness and reducing harsh self-criticism. That approach can be helpful for people coping with guilt, shame, caregiver strain, or feelings of isolation, and it supports gentler learning when trying new behaviors.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and test methods that fit their needs and preferences. Together they try tools, notice what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make regular check-ins easier to keep. It also allows sessions to focus on short-practice strategies, communication skills, and emotion regulation exercises that translate into daily life.
