About Mauricio

Mauricio Perez is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington. He brings 11 years of professional experience and a calm, straightforward manner to sessions. Mauricio helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about next steps find clearer thinking and steady progress.

Before becoming a therapist he spent over a decade as a monk living and working abroad. That time shaped how he notices patterns in people’s lives and how he offers practical, day-to-day guidance. He draws on that life experience alongside clinical practice to help clients move from insight to action.

Mauricio’s style is warm, direct, and collaborative. He treats people with respect and without judgment. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the individual and on making small, sustainable changes that fit real life.

He works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and coping with life changes. Additional areas Mauricio addresses include workplace issues, isolation and loneliness, grief over meaning and purpose, and multicultural concerns.

Mauricio offers help in English and Spanish. He aims to make the work practical - using techniques to reduce distress, create clearer choices, and support recovery from setbacks. If someone is ready to take a first step toward change, he supports that process one step at a time.

Evidence-informed approaches and online support

Mauricio integrates cognitive-behavioral ideas into his work by helping clients notice unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on small, testable shifts in daily routines and reactions.

He also uses mindfulness-based practices to help people develop steadier attention and reduce reactivity to difficult emotions. Mindfulness skills can help with waking up from habitual worry and building a steadier sense of calm across the day.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Mauricio works collaboratively to match techniques to each person's goals, background, and comfort level. He will check in about what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

If you prefer online work, confirm the available session options before booking. Mauricio can discuss which approaches and session arrangements fit your schedule and needs. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time while keeping focus on concrete steps for change.
