About Edward

Edward Perez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and intimacy-related issues.

Background and approach

He speaks English and Spanish and aims to meet people where they are. Edward draws on practical, people-focused approaches.

He uses the Gottman Method alongside attachment work to help clients understand patterns in relationships and emotional bonds. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and dialectical strategies to build emotion regulation skills.

Sessions are shaped around each person's needs. Edward listens carefully, then suggests steps you can try between visits.

He focuses on clear goals, small changes that add up, and ways to cope when things feel overwhelming. Conversations are straightforward and respectful.

Edward's military background informs his calm, structured style. He emphasizes realistic plans and skills that fit everyday life.

Whether someone needs short-term coping tools or longer work on past hurt, he adapts the pace and methods to the situation. People who choose him often want practical strategies for stress, clearer communication, or help healing from past trauma.

He encourages newcomers to be gentle with themselves about starting therapy and supports the first steps toward change.

How his approaches work online

Edward uses the Gottman Method to help people notice and change unhelpful interaction patterns and to build better communication and emotional connection. That approach focuses on practical exercises and conversations that translate well to online sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early bonds shape current relationships and to develop safer ways of relating and asking for support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete steps to identify and change thought patterns that fuel anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Edward will discuss your needs and goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. He aims to match tools to your day-to-day life so progress can continue between sessions.

Online therapy brings practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face-to-face from different places. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be used when video would be difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support, and keeping momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing other responsibilities.
