About Anabel
Anabel Perez is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. She writes plainly and meets people where they are. Her manner is warm and direct, and she aims to make sessions feel like a real conversation rather than a rigid checklist.
She focuses on people who grew up in chaotic or emotionally intense homes and those wrestling with attachment, abandonment, or codependency. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and self-love. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps clients try different ways of relating and coping.
Her approach combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with compassion-focused work. That means sessions often mix practical skills, clear observations, and attention to how people treat themselves. The goal is to feel steadier day to day and to make changes that last beyond the therapy room.
Anabel has five years of professional experience as an LMHC. She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. People begin by using the site’s Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to therapist availability.

Evidence-based methods and online therapy options
Anabel combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with compassion-focused work. Evidence-based techniques are practical methods backed by research that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors or teaching new coping skills. Compassion-focused work pays attention to the way people treat themselves and builds gentler, more supportive self-talk and emotional regulation skills.These approaches can help with stress, anxiety, relationship patterns, and the emotional aftermath of growing up in chaotic homes. They often involve short, clear exercises to try between sessions and straightforward conversation in the session itself. Clients and the therapist will decide together which methods to emphasize based on needs, goals, and preferences so the plan fits each person’s life.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session formats before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities, and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-in meetings when that fits a week better, or allow people to join sessions when they need flexibility rather than a long commute.
