    About Helen

    Helen Perez-Boyd is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York. She has nine years in private practice and brings a warm, nonjudgmental stance to sessions. Helen focuses on helping people who are struggling with relationships, parenting concerns, stress, anxiety, depression, and other life changes.

    She uses a facilitator role in the room, listening closely and helping clients find their own solutions. Motivational Interviewing is one of the approaches she uses to support people who want to make changes but feel stuck. Helen also draws on client-centered and solution-focused methods to keep work practical and goal-directed.

    Her background includes work in employee assistance programs, preventive services, and outpatient substance abuse counseling. Those roles involved both brief and longer-term supports for adolescents and adults, as well as case management related to workplace concerns. The variety of settings informs a flexible, down-to-earth approach in sessions.

    Clients can expect straightforward conversation about what matters to them and small, manageable steps toward change. Helen often helps people address issues like communication problems, infidelity, abandonment wounds, body image, impulsivity, and addiction-related concerns. She also supports those coping with grief, career transitions, and mood-related challenges.

    Sessions are oriented toward practical progress rather than labels. Helen aims to work collaboratively to set clear goals and track small improvements over time.

  2. How Helen's Approaches Work Online

    Helen uses Motivational Interviewing to help people who want change but feel stuck. This approach focuses on the client’s own goals and motivations and helps build commitment to small steps. Client-Centered Therapy is another part of her work, which means sessions start with open listening and empathy to help people feel understood.

    Solution-Focused Therapy appears in her toolkit too, and it is aimed at practical progress. This method looks for strengths and past successes and uses those to create small, achievable goals. Together these approaches can address relationship issues, anxiety, addiction concerns, parenting struggles, and mood problems by keeping work collaborative and action oriented.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a joint process where techniques are adjusted as goals evolve.
