About Mauricio
Mauricio Perez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with 11 years of experience supporting adults through common life pressures. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Mauricio speaks English and Spanish.
Before becoming a therapist, he spent more than a decade as a monk and lived abroad. That time shaped how he notices patterns in people’s lives and how he balances practical steps with deeper reflection. He brings those perspectives into each session.
His approach is direct and collaborative. He uses cognitive-behavioral ideas and mindfulness practices alongside insight-oriented work to help people recognize unhelpful patterns. Sessions also focus on concrete steps clients can try between meetings.
Mauricio often helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about next steps. He supports clients dealing with workplace stress, social anxiety, addiction, grief, and questions around life purpose. He also addresses feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness, and isolation.
Language options include Spanish for those who prefer it and English for others. He practices in Washington and holds a WA LICSW credential. To begin, readers are asked to use the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How online sessions can use therapeutic techniques
Many of the approaches Mauricio draws on are practical and teachable. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood. These methods help with workplace stress, social anxiety, and everyday worry.Mindfulness-based practices involve simple attention skills and grounding techniques. They help people notice automatic reactions and build steadiness during strong emotions or cravings related to addiction and trauma responses.
Insight-oriented work looks at longer-term patterns and personal history to understand why certain difficulties repeat. This helps when someone feels stuck, struggles with guilt or shame, or wants clearer direction in life.
Choosing the best mix of techniques is part of the work. Mauricio will collaborate with each person to test approaches, review what helps, and adjust over time so therapy fits the client's goals and preferences.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or commuting. They also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight or audio-only meetings when camera use is difficult. Ask about specific session formats during the matching process so practical needs can be matched with suitable arrangements.
