About Andrew
Andrew Perez is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with nine years in the field. He blends practical tools with a focus on personal strengths. He likes to keep things straightforward and useful for people juggling busy lives.
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 interest in how identity, family connections, and life circumstances affect mental health.
How Andrew works
He pays attention to how personality, family dynamics, and social ties shape daily experience. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, everyday habits, and thinking patterns that influence mood and behavior. He often uses techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts, test them, and take steps that match their values.
Work can include building routines, practicing coping skills, and exploring meaning and purpose. Andrew also draws on client-centered and existential ideas to create a respectful, person-focused space. He uses measurement-based care to track progress over time.
Practical goal-setting and skill practice are a regular part of sessions. People who prefer clear, action-oriented therapy tend to do well with his style. He helps clients translate insight into manageable steps.
That can mean improving day-to-day routines, reducing anxiety, addressing grief, or working toward clearer priorities and healthier relationships.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to change behavior and mood. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and patterns that keep problems going. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, offering a respectful, listening-based space to explore identity, relationships, and meaning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrew will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. He can mix approaches so sessions feel tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use face-to-face conversation and shared materials. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and changing life demands.
