About Edward

Edward Perez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. He draws on practical skills developed over a long career to help people manage stress and anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. He meets clients with respect and compassion and aims to make the first step easier for anyone looking for support.

His style is collaborative and direct. He tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear goals, coping strategies, and small changes that make daily life easier.

Edward uses a mix of well-known approaches. He blends attachment-focused work with client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral tools. That mix helps when people struggle with mood, worry, communication breakdowns, or past hurts that keep coming up.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and principles from the Gottman Method when relevant. These tools are used to teach emotion regulation, improve communication, and rebuild trust over time. Edward aims to match his methods to what each person finds most helpful.

He has additional experience addressing concerns like abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, substance-related problems, and autism and Asperger Syndrome. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Edward accepts international clients and practices out of Texas.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice connection needs and build safer ways of relating to others, which can reduce anxiety about closeness and abandonment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and build coping routines for stress and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose methods and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can still be practical - it can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins on busy days, and make scheduling around work or caregiving easier. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to teach skills, practice communication, and guide exposure or behavioral experiments in real-life settings. Ask about which formats are offered when you schedule so sessions fit your routine.
