Mauricio Perez

Mauricio Perez is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington. He draws on 11 years of clinical experience to help people struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and life transitions. His work often centers on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or isolated find practical next steps.

Before becoming a therapist, he spent more than a decade living as a monk and working abroad. That time shaped how he notices patterns in people’s lives and how he blends practical tools with reflective work. He uses that background to offer steady, grounded guidance alongside real-world strategies.

Mauricio’s style is warm, direct, and collaborative. He aims to create sessions where people feel respected and heard without judgment. Sessions focus on clear goals, coping skills, and small changes that add up over time.

He incorporates cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness-based practices together with insight-oriented conversation. That mix is used to address symptoms plus the habits and beliefs that keep problems in place. Mauricio emphasizes skills people can try between sessions to build momentum.

People come to him for many concerns, including stress, addiction, workplace strain, social anxiety, and loneliness. He works in English and Spanish and tailors each plan to what the person needs now. To begin, people use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule an appointment.

How Mauricio’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Many clients find cognitive-behavioral techniques useful because they break problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers clear steps and exercises to reduce anxiety, manage cravings, or change unhelpful habits. Mindfulness-based practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises that help with stress, intrusive memories, and feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mauricio works together with each person to decide which methods match their goals and daily life. He adjusts the focus over time so sessions remain practical and relevant to what the person wants to change.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and follow up quickly after a difficult moment. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or sessions that emphasize exercises and homework between meetings. Ask about session lengths and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your needs.
