Dr. Claribel Perez

Welcome!

I understand how life circumstances and traumas can impact emotional stability. If you are experiencing a situation that is challenging your wellness or possibly disrupting optimal living, I am here to help!

I commend you for taking the first step to reach out; you are not alone. In fact, my personal life story alongside my professional character epitomize relentlessness and overcomer; thus, reenforcing my empathic heart towards empowering others.

You may address me as Dr. Claire. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor since 2005 and a Certified Clinical Sex Therapist. Formerly, I dedicated my early years as a recognized High Impact Florida Teacher (with over 30 years of experience) and as a UCF Adjunct Professor (retired since 2020).

My counseling tone is characterized as warm, caring, and resourceful with a supportive demeanor; accordingly, fostering a safe and non-judgmental space. Whether you'd simply prefer talk therapy to receive my reflective insights, or whether you wish to work on specific concerns, I will delineate a structured treatment plan tailored to target your goals and implement therapeutic strategies, tools, and techniques, working on your goals collaboratively.

Embarking on this therapeutic journey requires courage and you already deserve a pat on your back for getting started! At best, I am committed to provide insights and instrumental tools that will support your needs and goals. Overall, my utmost approach is to provide you a safe therapeutic experience embracing emotional support, reflective insights, well-being, healing, and empowerment.

I look forward to working with you.

Stay well!

Dr. Claire

My Collaborative Approach entails mutual, interactive, and communicative working together through a formative process, which is essential to your progress.

Clinical counseling modalities that I implement include: Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MBCBT) combined with a Psycho-Educational Approach, Sex Therapy (specifically the Psychological Barriers Type for women undergoing biological or traumatic issues), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Reality Therapy, and Psycho-dynamic Therapy, tailored to help each individual address their unique wellness goals. In your best interest, I provide you treatment intervention options to "adapt and adopt", a healthy sense of “self”, empowering you towards a positive self-actualization and self-fulfillment (based on The Self Theory by one of my favorite classical Philosophers: Carl Rogers and Albert Bandura). Overall, I implement collaborative, evidence-based treatment interventions to address each person’s unique objectives via Teletherapy.

During our first session, my clinical approach unfolds from getting to know each other first, followed by building trust; focusing on your presenting problems, concerns, and overall goals. Afterwards, based on your needs, I interweave clinical approaches that entail a mutual collaborative effort to work on treatment interventions, implementing therapeutic strategies towards the accomplishment of your goals and towards your optimal wellness.
