About Kristen
Kristen Perez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 14 years of clinical experience in Florida. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or eating concerns. Kristen aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.
She focuses on practical conversations about problems that show up day to day. Kristen helps people rebuild confidence, handle relationship strain, and address communication problems.
Background and approach
She also supports those working through guilt, shame, isolation, social anxiety, and struggles with self-love. Sessions are shaped to fit each person. Kristen listens for what matters most, then adapts how she talks and plans work together.
That might mean setting small, realistic goals or practicing clearer ways to speak with others. Her approach is direct but compassionate. She uses proven techniques and keeps the focus on concrete changes you can try between sessions.
Many people come away with better coping tools and a clearer sense of next steps. If you are nervous about starting, Kristen recognizes that first step takes courage. She will pace the work to match your needs and hopes.
The goal is to help you feel more capable and connected to your day to day life.
Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Kristen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and real-life practice. One common approach emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood; this involves noticing troubling thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. Another approach centers on building communication and relationship skills through role-play and step-by-step practice to improve difficult conversations and reduce conflict.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to see what feels most useful, try different strategies, and adjust plans based on what helps reach the client’s goals and preferences.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video lets you work face to face when that helps. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity and fit therapy into a busy life.
