About Andrew
Andrew Perez is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with nine years of experience. He blends practical tools with attention to identity and relationships. He likes to keep things straightforward and focused on what will help a person feel better day to day.
He has worked across settings including a jail diversion program for teens, a residential evaluation hospital for children and adults, and community programs for at-risk youth and their families. Those experiences shaped his interest in how family, personality, and social connection affect mental health. He pays attention to strengths, values, and everyday routines as part of treatment.
In sessions he uses ideas from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take meaningful action. He also draws from Client-Centered and Existential approaches to keep the work personal and relationship-focused. The goal is to combine skills practice with conversations about identity and purpose.
Andrew often helps people build small daily routines that reduce stress and improve mood. He works on practical skills for anxiety, depression, grief, parenting concerns, and addiction-related problems. He also offers support around adoption and foster care matters when they arise in a person’s story.
Clients can expect a collaborative style that looks at strengths and challenges together. Early sessions typically review goals and daily habits, then move into skill-building and problem-solving. He encourages readable, manageable steps that fit into busy lives.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps a person clarify what matters most and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and questions about purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the pace and focus of work.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels workable. That conversation guides which methods are emphasized and how sessions are structured, and adjustments are made as goals evolve.
Confirm session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed in the biography. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or make it easier to attend when travel or location is a barrier. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach coping skills, run exposure exercises, review homework, and track progress in ways that fit everyday life.
