Christine PerezLCPC, LPC

Christine Perez is a licensed counselor with 24 years of experience. She is an LCPC and an LPC who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns. She also supports parents and others dealing with pregnancy and childbirth related mood changes such as postpartum depression.

Her sessions are grounded in straightforward conversation and practical steps. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and prioritize what matters to each person. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts and patterns that get in the way, and mindfulness tools to manage intense feelings in the moment.

Clients often come for help with self-esteem, life purpose, or coping with major life changes. Christine also works with people experiencing social anxiety, workplace stress, eating and food-related issues, and episodes of emptiness. She addresses more specific concerns such as control issues, forgiveness, infidelity, jealousy, and first responder stress.

Her background includes long clinical experience across a range of mood and behavior concerns, including Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder, Seasonal Affective Disorder, and self-harm thoughts. Christine aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can name their struggles and try new ways of coping.

She encourages short-term, goal-focused work when that fits, and longer-term exploration when people want it. The emphasis is on practical tools you can use between sessions to manage symptoms and move toward clearer goals.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client’s lead, clarify what matters most, and set goals that feel relevant to daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this can mean reviewing recent situations, spotting unhelpful thinking, and practicing small behavior changes between appointments to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. When delivered online, clients can learn short exercises to use during a stressful moment at home or work and report back on what helped.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help figure out whether a problem needs short-term, solution-focused work or a longer plan that combines CBT and mindfulness. Clients and the therapist set goals together and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Ask about the available options and how they fit into your routine. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare, or medical visits, reduce travel time, and support consistent check-ins while you work on coping skills and mood management.
