About Brenda
Brenda Perea is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Colorado with 33 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem issues, career changes, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are available in English and Spanish and Brenda accepts international clients.
Brenda focuses on practical skills and clear conversation. She uses approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, and mindfulness to help clients notice patterns and try new responses. She also incorporates techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and EMDR when those fit a person's needs.
In sessions she helps people identify immediate problems and build step-by-step plans. That can mean practicing coping skills for anxiety, arranging short experiments to test relationship assumptions, or learning routines to manage mood and energy. She pays attention to cultural and discrimination concerns when they affect wellbeing.
Her work includes addressing grief, addictions, jealousy, phobias, seasonal affective disorder, sexual assault and related trauma. Brenda draws on decades of experience to offer straightforward support and skill teaching rather than lengthy theory talks. She aims for sessions that feel relevant to daily life.
People who come to Brenda often want clear tools and steady guidance during change. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Brenda uses client-centered therapy to focus discussion on the client's priorities, listening carefully and helping people name what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort feelings and decide next steps.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT often involves practical exercises and small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or shift patterns that contribute to depression.
Dialectical behavior therapy contributes skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT tools are useful when a person wants concrete strategies to handle anger, overwhelming stress, or relationship tensions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brenda will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps.
Confirm the therapist's current online session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or avoid travel. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity of care during life changes and make regular meetings more practical.
