Dr. Andrew Perez, LPC

Dr. Andrew Perez helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. He also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addictions, and sleep problems. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor and works with people who are navigating mood and attention concerns like bipolar disorder and ADHD.

He draws on nine years of clinical experience and a background that includes university counseling centers and work inside the Texas prison system. He holds a Doctorate of Philosophy in Rehabilitation Counseling, a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Criminal Justice. He also provides supervision to less experienced counselors.

In sessions he focuses on practical strategies people can use right away. He often looks at how thoughts, actions, and feelings connect, and then tests small changes to see what helps. He also uses solution-focused steps to set clear goals and DBT-informed skills for managing intense emotions.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He listens for what matters most to each person and tailors the approach to those needs. People can expect a mix of skill coaching, problem-solving, and check-ins about progress.

He works in Texas and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, confirm the current session formats offered and scheduling details through the site.

How his approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building a respectful therapeutic relationship. It helps when someone needs a listening space and collaborative problem solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings connect and then tests small changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood. It is useful for stress, panic, phobias, and mood symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can help with anger, panic, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether CBT exercises, solution-focused steps, or DBT-informed skills are the best fit and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use tools like worksheets and in-session skills practice that translate well to virtual sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work effectively in an online setting.
