About Mauricio
Mauricio Perez is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with 11 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are aimed at people who feel stuck or uncertain about what comes next.
Before becoming a therapist, he spent over a decade living and working as a monk abroad. That period shaped how he notices longstanding patterns and what tends to keep people feeling stalled. He pairs that perspective with practical tools to address everyday problems.
Mauricio blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices and insight-oriented work. In concrete terms that means identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, building simple skills to manage symptoms, and reflecting on deeper motives that influence choices. He uses plain language and direct feedback in sessions.
His style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on small, doable changes clients can practice between meetings. He also helps people who are dealing with workplace stress, isolation, guilt, shame, or questions about life purpose and midlife shifts.
Mauricio emphasizes both immediate coping strategies and longer-term meaning-making. People can expect a mix of skill-building and discussion aimed at increasing day-to-day functioning. To begin, clients follow the site's matching steps and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Mauricio uses cognitive-behavioral approaches that focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This helps with anxiety, depression, social anxiety, and workplace stress by giving specific strategies to test and change patterns.He also uses mindfulness-based practices to build attention and reduce reactivity. Those practices are offered as short exercises and grounding techniques that people can use outside sessions to manage stress and cravings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mauricio will collaborate with each person to determine which methods match their goals and preferences. He discusses options, tries techniques, and adjusts the plan based on what helps in day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in his biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and reduce the effort of attending. It can also allow brief check-ins or longer weekly sessions depending on what the client and therapist agree will be most useful.
