About Adenia

Adenia Perez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Arizona with eleven years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and career or life transitions. Adenia speaks English and Spanish and works with adults on a range of concerns from compassion fatigue to ADHD and workplace stress.

Adenia uses a narrative-informed approach alongside evidence-based methods to help people rewrite the stories that hold them back.

Background and approach

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice thoughts, try new behaviors, and move toward what matters to them. Sessions are practical and grounded in real-life goals. Her background includes work across nonprofits, schools, and community programs.

That range has shaped a flexible style that fits different needs - brief coaching, ongoing therapy, or help navigating big life changes. People often come with issues like guilt, isolation, communication problems, or questions about life purpose. In sessions she keeps things direct, respectful, and strengths-focused.

She encourages people to identify small, doable steps and to build on what already works in their lives. Adenia aims to create a calm space where clients can try new ways of coping and decision-making. Therapy with her typically includes skill practice, reflection on personal stories, and planning for everyday changes.

She supports parents working through the strain of raising children and people dealing with pregnancy and childbirth related concerns. Her approach is collaborative and tailored to each person’s goals.

Online session options

How narrative and action-focused approaches work online

Online therapy with Adenia blends narrative work with action-oriented methods to help people change how they live and think. Narrative Therapy helps people name the stories they tell about themselves and try different, more helpful perspectives; it can be useful when old patterns feel stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small steps - noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and teaches concrete strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Adenia will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust the mix of narrative, ACT, or CBT techniques as you see what helps and what doesn’t. The process is a partnership where the plan changes based on real progress.

Online formats offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let you work through material face to face. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing coaching, quick skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
