About Mauricio
Mauricio Perez is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with 11 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and major life changes. He combines practical guidance with a calm, straightforward manner to help people find clearer direction and daily routines that make a difference.
Before becoming a therapist, Mauricio spent more than a decade living and working as a monk abroad. That experience shaped how he notices patterns in people’s lives and how he supports steady, real-world change. He brings curiosity and grounded perspective to conversations about identity, purpose, and healing.
His style is warm, direct, and collaborative. Sessions focus on understanding what feels stuck, then on taking small, practical steps toward recovery and growth. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside mindfulness and reflective work to support coping and behavior change.
Mauricio works with common struggles such as depression, post-traumatic stress, substance use, social anxiety, and workplace issues. He also addresses concerns like guilt, shame, isolation, and life-purpose questions that can come with midlife transitions or major upheaval.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and take into account each person’s cultural background and lived experience. Mauricio aims to help people build tools they can use outside session time, so change carries forward into everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches that guide online work
Many of Mauricio’s techniques come from well-established, evidence-based approaches. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on spotting unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going; this helps with anxiety, depression, and workplace stress. Mindfulness-based practices train attention and present-moment noticing to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation; these are useful for stress, trauma-related symptoms, and cravings. Insight-oriented work invites gentle reflection on life patterns and meaning to help people clarify purpose and make different choices.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mauricio works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together the client and therapist try methods, adjust what isn’t working, and set concrete steps that fit daily life.
