About Daniel
Daniel Perez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who helps parents and adults facing relationship strain and life transitions. He speaks English and Spanish and focuses on clear, practical steps to reduce stress and improve daily functioning. Daniel keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented for people juggling busy schedules and parenting demands.
He takes a collaborative approach that blends different methods to match each person's needs.
Background and approach
That might mean learning skills to manage anxiety, practicing clearer communication, or exploring attachment patterns that shape close relationships. Sessions are conversational and task-focused so people leave with concrete ideas to try between meetings. Daniel trained in counseling psychology and has worked in settings that included court-approved groups such as anger management and substance use programs.
He brings five years of clinical experience to work with concerns like grief, trauma, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, and career stress. His background supports a range of parenting and relationship challenges without relying on one single technique. Common topics include intimacy problems, coping with major life changes, and parenting stress.
He also assists people navigating complicated issues such as codependency, communication breakdowns, and body image concerns. Sessions aim to reduce immediate distress while building longer-term coping skills. Daniel offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs.
Prospective clients can complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that suit their routines.

Approaches that fit parenting and relationship work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions toward them. It helps when worry or avoidance gets in the way of being the kind of parent or partner someone wants to be. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches practical steps to change them, which can reduce anxiety and improve communication. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape trust and closeness; it can help people understand recurring conflicts and choose different responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daniel will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then blend methods that fit. That collaborative process makes it easier to try techniques that match day-to-day life and parenting routines.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use body language and screen sharing for skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick questions, brief coaching, or support between sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
