About Adenia
Adenia Perez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of practice. She works in Arizona and supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and life changes. She speaks both English and Spanish and brings a calm, direct approach to sessions.
Adenia uses practical methods to help people notice what matters and take steps toward it. She often combines acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive-behavioral tools to reduce unhelpful thinking and increase meaningful action.
Background and approach
She also draws on client-centered and emotionally focused approaches to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in social work from Lehman College and a Master of Social Work from Hunter College. Over the years she has worked in nonprofits, schools, and community settings.
Those roles shaped her skill at helping people manage mood, cope after loss, and navigate major life transitions. In sessions she keeps language plain and goals concrete. Parents can expect help with common stressors, caregiving strain, and setting boundaries.
She also addresses concerns such as low self-esteem, anger, impulse control, and workplace stress. Adenia treats specific issues like grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD symptoms, and relationship communication struggles with straightforward tools and coaching. She focuses on small changes that stack up over time.
The work is collaborative, and she helps people build plans they can use between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting and life stress
Adenia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then choose actions that match their values, which can be useful when handling parenting stress or big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, and impulsive reactions.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your preferences, and adjust plans as you progress. Sessions are meant to combine skills practice with problem-solving so you can apply what you learn between meetings.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls let you work face to face from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you need to be off camera. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, coaching, or skill reminders between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and changing work demands.
