About Andrew
Andrew Perez is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with nine years of experience. He brings a straightforward, down-to-earth style and focuses on practical skills parents can use day to day. He likes to connect therapy to strengths, routines, and small changes that make family life easier.
He often helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and addiction-related concerns. Parenting and fatherhood issues are part of his focus, along with adoption and foster care questions.
Background and approach
He also addresses self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, relationship and communication problems, and career or financial stressors. Andrew uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Existential Therapy. Sessions typically look at thoughts and daily routines, then build simple skills to shift habits and reactions.
He emphasizes measuring progress and adjusting plans as needed. In sessions he works collaboratively to identify strengths and small, concrete steps. That might mean changing a nightly routine, practicing specific communication skills, or trying short behavioral experiments between meetings.
He also supports people dealing with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue by combining skill building with attention to values and meaning. Outside of work he enjoys running, hiking, reading, and writing. He often frames therapy around identity, family dynamics, and social connection to help people create sustainable change.

Approaches that guide online parenting support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values while managing difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for parenting stress, anxiety, and decisions about family life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors; it is practical for anxiety, low mood, and habit change. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and builds change from empathy, listening, and respect; this approach helps people feel understood while exploring parenting challenges.Picking the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try strategies, measure how they’re going, and adjust the plan over time to find the best fit.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for teaching skills or modeling interactions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people use brief check-ins, ask questions between sessions, or get quick coaching during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into family routines and varied schedules.
