About Anabel
Anabel Perez is a licensed mental health counselor who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, and big life changes. She also addresses compassion fatigue and the lasting impact of growing up in chaotic or emotionally intense homes. Her style is warm and direct.
She speaks plainly and shows up as a real person rather than a blank slate. Sessions focus on making thoughts and patterns easier to understand and on practical steps that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside compassion-focused work. That means she blends methods that have been studied with attention to how people treat themselves and recover from emotional overwhelm. The goal is to help clients feel steadier and make changes that last.
Common topics she helps people with include attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, caregiver stress, communication and control issues, and feelings of guilt or shame. She also supports people working on self-love, life purpose, and recovering from isolation or jealousy. Perez has five years of clinical experience and practices in Florida as an LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor.
Sessions are offered in English and tailored to each person’s needs using approaches that match their goals.
Evidence-based care and online options
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building new habits. One common approach is cognitive-oriented work that helps identify thought patterns driving anxiety and depression, then teaches practical skills to shift those patterns. This approach is useful for stress, low mood, and worry.Another useful strand is compassion-focused work, which teaches people how to treat themselves with more kindness and reduce self-criticism. That can help with shame, guilt, burnout, and caregiver stress by building more self-supportive inner responses.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust plans together so the work fits each person’s needs and preferences. Clients are invited to give feedback and shape the pace and focus of sessions.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into busy days and to send quick updates between sessions. These options create flexibility so people can get consistent support without long travel times.
