About Dr.Claribel

Dr. Dr.Claribel Perez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Florida. She goes by Dr. Claire and brings two decades of counseling experience to conversations about stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Her style is warm and structured, aimed at helping people feel heard and better able to manage daily challenges.

Dr. Claire begins by listening closely to a person’s situation and identifying practical goals together. She uses a mix of cognitive behavioral techniques and humanistic ideas to work on negative thoughts and build personal strengths. Sessions focus on learning skills, shifting patterns that cause distress, and developing healthier ways to respond to strong emotions like anger.

Over 20 years she has supported people through grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and chronic health concerns. She uses problem-focused strategies and mindfulness work to address stress, compassion fatigue, and mood difficulties. Her approach emphasizes small, concrete steps that can be tried between sessions.

In the first meeting she prioritizes understanding what matters most to the client and co-creates goals that can change as progress is made. She offers guidance, teaching, and emotional support while encouraging the client’s active participation in treatment.

Dr. Claire frames therapy as a collaborative process that draws on a person’s strengths. She aims to help people build a clearer sense of self, better coping skills, and more satisfying daily routines. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s start process to match and schedule sessions.

How her approach and online work can fit your life

Dr. Claire uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in straightforward, hands-on ways. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger, anxiety, or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness, which can help with stress and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and daily needs. That may mean trying a CBT strategy for a few weeks or adding mindfulness exercises to manage strong feelings, and adjusting plans as progress is made.

The therapist’s bio does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these methods to teach practical skills, review homework, and plan steps to practice between meetings, helping people apply what they learn to real situations.
