present perfect

We have been always told that for present perfect we use "since" and "for". I wonder if we can use "in the last several months/years/ days..." for present perfect.
For example:
In the last several months we have noticed the root of the problem.

Indeed.
The writer seemed to know that already, but it certainly doesn't hurt to be clear.
