Getting to know Joanna Perez

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor offering telehealth services to clients across Florida. With clinical background across outpatient, residential, community-based, and correctional settings, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and major life transitions. My focus is on providing inclusive, culturally responsive care that helps you overcome persistent patterns, regain emotional balance, and build lasting self-trust.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Sessions with me are interactive, warm, and structured around your unique needs and goals. I integrate evidence-based techniques—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused strategies—with concrete, real-world tools you can use every day. In our early sessions, we will explore what brings you in and map out a clear, collaborative plan. You can expect a supportive, low-pressure space where we work at your pace to help you feel grounded, empowered, and capable of meaningful change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We begin with an initial consultation to discuss what brings you in, explore your background, and outline a flexible care plan. Ongoing sessions provide a warm, collaborative space to process current stressors and work through underlying patterns. Rather than limiting care to a single framework, we draw from several evidence-based approaches—such as CBT, DBT skills, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness—tailored to what works best for you. Each meeting focuses on practical takeaways and real-world tools, empowering you to make steady, sustainable progress.
