About Dr.Claribel
Dr. Dr.Claribel Perez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 20 years of experience who offers a warm, practical counseling style. She prefers to be called Dr.
Claire and works from Florida. Her approach centers on building a respectful relationship and helping clients draw on their own strengths to face stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, depression, and other life challenges. She begins by listening closely to understand each person’s situation and priorities.
Background and approach
Early sessions focus on identifying goals together and creating steps that feel manageable. Goals are flexible and change as progress is made. Dr.
Claire blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques. In practice this means she helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and use real-life skills to reduce distress. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are added when they fit the situation.
Her background includes two decades of clinical practice and prior careers in education. That experience shapes a teaching style that explains ideas clearly and offers practical tools parents can use day to day. She uses examples, brief exercises, and straightforward feedback in sessions.
Sessions can address a wide range of concerns including intimacy and relationship stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, trauma, anger, coping with life changes, and issues related to aging, chronic illness, or body image. The work aims to increase emotional awareness, improve coping, and support better decision making. Dr.
Claire works in English and offers multiple online formats. She encourages people to take a first step, name one small goal, and try an approach together to see what helps.

Approach and online care that fit your life
Dr. Claire often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety or depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and using a person’s own strengths to guide change and build confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose techniques and adjust them over time so the plan matches real-life needs and daily routines.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you see and hear each other for full conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, brief coaching, or when it helps to write things out. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, parenting, or medical schedules while keeping therapy consistent and practical.
