About Andrew

Dr. Andrew Perez brings nine years of clinical experience to his work in Texas, supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and a range of mood and behavioral issues.

Perez’s training includes a Doctorate of Philosophy in Rehabilitation Counseling and a background in clinical psychology that informs his approach. His practice emphasizes practical, skills-based work grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while drawing on client-centered, dialectical behavior therapy, and solution-focused strategies when appropriate.

He frames therapy as a collaborative process, helping clients identify patterns in thinking and behavior, build coping skills, and develop concrete steps toward their goals. Dr.

Perez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas, and he has experience across university counseling settings, the criminal justice system, and online practice, which contributes to a versatile clinical style adapted to diverse needs.

Approaches for Online Skill-Building and Change

Dr. Perez commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps clients test and change unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce distress and improve functioning. DBT contributes practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and refining interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for mood disorders, anger, and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and presenting concerns and then tailor a mix of CBT, DBT, or client-centered techniques that fit the person's needs. Treatment plans are revisited as progress is made so methods can be adjusted over time based on what is helping.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, enabling people to access licensed professionals from varied locations within the permitted region. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use different formats for skill practice, check-ins, or more in-depth sessions depending on what works best for the client.
