About Kristen
Kristen Perez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 14 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, eating issues, low self-esteem, and depression. Kristen also focuses on communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.
Her sessions begin with straightforward conversation about what feels most urgent. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people notice small, practical shifts they can try between meetings. Sessions move at a steady pace and focus on what someone can do next rather than long lectures or abstract theories.
Kristen adapts how she talks and plans with each person. That can mean working on how to speak up in a relationship, challenging harsh self-talk, or building simple routines to ease anxiety and stress. She aims to help people separate what they are responsible for from what they are not, a common concern when guilt or shame is present.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide treatment choices. The plan is reviewed regularly so it stays relevant as progress is made or priorities change. Kristen encourages realistic steps and clear goals, not quick fixes.
People who prefer direct, practical collaboration often find this approach helpful. If someone wants focused work on guilt, shame, or improving how they relate to others, Kristen will make those topics a central part of sessions.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Kristen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape online work. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns. This method helps when guilt, shame, anxiety, or low self-worth keep someone stuck by teaching how thoughts influence feelings and actions.Another approach centers on behavioral experiments and small habit changes. It breaks larger problems into short, testable steps so people can try different ways of responding and see what helps. That is useful for social anxiety, avoidance, and building confidence after setbacks.
Choosing the right method is part of the work. Kristen treats approach selection as a collaborative process. She will discuss options, try things, and adjust plans based on a person’s goals and how they respond to treatment.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or from another quiet spot. Some formats also support shorter check-ins or sessions when a full hour is hard to arrange, helping therapy fit around everyday responsibilities.
