Rex Perkins, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and identity exploration. He specializes in evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based techniques. Rex is particularly skilled in treating anxiety-related disorders, including OCD and social anxiety, using tools like exposure and response prevention (ERP) and rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT). His work is grounded in the belief that healing begins with self-acceptance, insight, and a compassionate approach to growth.
Rex’s therapeutic style is calm, open, and affirming. He brings curiosity and deep respect into every session, creating a space where clients feel truly seen and safe to be their authentic selves. He is passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, veterans, neurodivergent clients, and those exploring self-worth, masculinity, or nontraditional relationships. Outside of therapy, Rex finds joy in spending time with his children, traveling, cooking, and connecting through meaningful conversations. His path to therapy was shaped by lived experience, personal reflection, and a lifelong commitment to understanding people and promoting real, human connection.
