About Brenda
LCSW Brenda Perea has 33 years of clinical experience in Colorado. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and parenting, among other issues. Brenda speaks English and Spanish and works with people across cultural backgrounds.
Brenda uses client-centered methods to listen and understand each person's priorities. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices and elements of dialectical behavior therapy are part of her approach when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed.
In sessions she teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, anger, and mood shifts. She works on strategies for coping with life changes and for rebuilding after loss or trauma. For people struggling with work stress or career decisions, she focuses on concrete steps and problem solving.
Brenda pays attention to how cultural background and experiences of prejudice or discrimination affect mental health. She also addresses issues such as jealousy, phobias, seasonal affective disorder, and the effects of sexual assault and abuse when they are relevant.
People can expect a straightforward, skills-focused process that aims to reduce distress and increase daily functioning. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set goals and plan next steps.

Approaches used in virtual sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people clarify goals so sessions follow what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses practical exercises and homework to change patterns that keep problems going.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brenda will discuss options and together decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can involve trying different techniques to see what helps most.
