About Perla
Perla Barragan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with three years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, and depression, and also addresses issues related to forgiveness, guilt and shame, and self-love. Perla works with English and Spanish speakers and practices in California.
Perla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps conversations practical and straightforward. She adapts sessions to the concerns a person brings and builds a treatment plan with clear steps. Sessions center on identifying what is most distressing, testing small changes, and tracking progress over time.
Perla prioritizes respectful, sensitive interactions and listens for the life patterns that contribute to recurring problems. She helps people name the emotions they feel and the behaviors that keep those emotions active. From there she guides short-term strategies and longer-term shifts to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Perla often works on repairing self-directed attitudes such as shame and guilt, and on practices that increase self-compassion and self-love. She supports people who want to rethink patterns that hold them back and learn more helpful responses.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Perla draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on stress, anxiety, and depression. One common approach focuses on practical skills and behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms and test new ways of coping. This method breaks problems into manageable steps and checks what works in everyday life.Another approach addresses self-directed emotions like guilt and shame by helping people notice harsh self-judgments and try kinder, more realistic self-talk. This work often pairs reflection with short behavioral changes to shift how someone treats themselves day to day.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Perla collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, concerns, and preferences. She reviews options together and adjusts the plan as progress or new needs emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. In practice, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can also adapt session pacing and homework to match a person’s routine and responsibilities.
