About Mauricio
Mauricio Perez is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with 11 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, and life transitions, and lists guilt and shame among his focus areas.
He spent more than a decade living as a monk and working abroad before becoming a clinician. That time shaped how he notices patterns in people’s lives and how he balances big-picture insight with practical steps. He draws on those life experiences when talking through difficult emotions and choices.
Mauricio uses straightforward, collaborative sessions. He combines cognitive-behavioral ideas with mindfulness practices and insight-oriented reflection. Sessions aim to identify what keeps someone stuck and to try specific changes that fit daily life.
People who come to him often want clarity, steadier routines, or help coping after loss, trauma, or major change. He also helps with workplace stress, feelings of emptiness, and problems tied to addiction and recovery.
Mauricio offers care in English and Spanish and works from Washington. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s booking flow. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Mauricio brings evidence-based methods online
His work draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques that look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT-style work helps people test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, shame, or patterns tied to addiction.He also uses mindfulness-based practices that teach simple attention and breathing exercises. These practices can help lower immediate reactivity and create space to choose a different response to painful memories or urges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mauricio treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help clients decide whether more skills-based work, reflective insight, or a mix fits their goals and situation.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find virtual visits helpful for maintaining consistency while juggling work, family, and recovery commitments.
