About Andrew
Andrew Perez is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with nine years of experience. He blends practical tools with a down-to-earth approach.
Background and approach
He writes and stays active through running and hiking when he's not working. Family and travel are important parts of his life.
He has worked in a variety of settings, including a jail diversion program for teens, a residential evaluation hospital for children and adults, and community programs for at-risk youth. Those roles shaped his focus on identity, relationships, and everyday routines as key parts of healing.
He sees how family patterns, social ties, and personal beliefs all shape wellbeing. In sessions he pays attention to strengths and daily habits.
He uses ideas from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and adjust thoughts that get in the way. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered ways of working to clarify values and create practical steps forward.
Andrew often helps people build routines that support goals and manage symptoms. He works with issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, and relationship or family concerns.
He also supports people dealing with parenting, career choices, grief, and life transitions. His style is straightforward and collaborative.
He helps clients identify small, realistic changes they can try between sessions. Measurement-based tools are used when helpful to track progress and guide treatment decisions.
Approach-driven care delivered online
Andrew often uses the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and strengthen communication. This approach focuses on practical skills for managing conflict and rebuilding connection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people clarify what matters most and take action toward those values, even when hard thoughts or feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build concrete behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life, then try methods that suit those needs. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is assessed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth needs. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands.
