Joanna Perez

Joanna Perez, LMHC, is a Florida clinician with seven years of experience supporting adults and young adults facing trauma, anxiety, and the patterns that feel difficult to change. She uses evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT-informed skills, motivational interviewing, and trauma-responsive care to help people slow down, build practical tools, and deepen self-understanding. Her work addresses concerns like panic, self-trust, and major life transitions while honoring each person’s pace and perspective.

Her practice includes specialties in stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment and blended family issues, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, substance use concerns, and immigration-related stress. Joanna brings professional experience from outpatient, residential, community-based, and correctional settings, which informs a broad approach to clinical work.

Therapy with Joanna centers on collaborative planning and culturally responsive care for diverse identities and backgrounds. She aims to help people create steady, sustainable paths forward by combining concrete strategies with thoughtful reflection and practical skill building.
