About Andrew
Dr. Andrew Perez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with nine years of post-licensure experience. He lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns among his primary areas of focus, along with depression, grief, addiction, and mood-related difficulties. He works with adults navigating life changes, intimacy questions, and everyday parenting strains.
He trained through a BA in Psychology and Criminal Justice, an MA in Clinical Psychology, and a PhD in Rehabilitation Counseling. He began clinical work in 2011 and earned full LPC status in 2013. His background includes university counseling center work and providing mental health services in the Texas prison system. He also supervises less experienced counselors and teaches part time.
In sessions he leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while drawing on Client-Centered, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused approaches when helpful. He explains how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings influence each other and looks for concrete changes a person can try between meetings. He adapts methods to what each client and he agree will be useful.
People can expect practical discussion about problems at home, at work, or in relationships. Conversations are aimed at clearer communication, managing strong emotions like anger or panic, and improving daily routines such as sleep. He also addresses concerns tied to identity, multicultural issues, and substance use.
His mix of university, correctional, and supervisory experience informs a straight-forward clinical style. He has provided online counseling for over a year and continues to work with adults in Texas who prefer remote sessions.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Dr. Perez commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy approaches in his work. CBT focuses on how thoughts, behaviors, and emotions are connected and looks for small changes that can shift how someone feels and acts. DBT-informed methods teach practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness in stressful relationships.He treats choice of approach as a collaborative decision. Early meetings are used to set goals and test which techniques fit the client's needs and daily life. The therapist and client adjust methods together based on what is useful and what the client prefers.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and remove travel time to and from sessions. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to run skills practice, review progress, and plan small experiments to try between meetings.
