About Rose
Rose Perez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, and LGBT-related concerns. She also supports people carrying guilt and shame related to relationships, life choices, or past events.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice how thoughts shape feelings and actions. CBT work in sessions focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking, testing those thoughts, and practicing different responses. Rose also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and follow what each person brings to the room.
Rose takes a strengths-based approach. She looks for past successes and practical skills people already use. Then she builds on those skills to manage current problems like panic, workplace stress, or isolation.
Sessions are practical and conversational. People can expect to talk through recent events, try small behavioral experiments, and practice new ways of coping between sessions. The work often includes clear steps to reduce overwhelming moments and improve daily routines.
Her background includes work with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, and issues around sexuality. Rose’s style is steady and focused on helping people make concrete changes that fit their life.
How Rose applies approaches to online work
Rose often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking patterns that feed guilt, shame, and anxiety. CBT in online sessions can include tracking thoughts, trying small behavioral experiments between meetings, and reviewing results together. Client-Centered Therapy is another part of her work, which means she listens closely and follows the client's priorities during conversations.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Rose collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their situation, goals, and preferences. She adjusts tools and pacing based on what helps most for things like panic attacks, workplace stress, or grappling with shame from past events.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into weekday breaks or evenings, reducing travel time, and making it easier to keep regular check-ins. Online work can also allow shorter focused sessions when attention is limited or phone-based check-ins when video is difficult. Rose will discuss which options make sense for scheduling and for the kind of work the client wants to do.
