About

About Eduardo

Eduardo Paez is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 14 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are facing addictions, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma, and parenting challenges. Eduardo approaches work with warmth and straightforward guidance so people can take practical steps forward.

He sees people as the experts in their own lives and starts by listening closely to what matters most. That helps him tailor sessions to each person’s situation and goals.

Background and approach

Eduardo mixes conversations about feelings with concrete tools so progress feels measurable. In sessions he uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits. He also brings client-centered methods to create space for people to lead the conversation.

Mindfulness techniques are used to slow things down and strengthen emotional awareness. For relationship concerns he draws on ideas from the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce repeated conflicts. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is ready to change patterns like addictive behaviors and needs support finding internal motivation.

People come to work on attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, life purpose, or building self-love. Eduardo aims for clear, doable steps and steady support as people try new ways of coping and relating.

Online support

How Eduardo’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client’s lead to clarify goals and priorities. Online sessions allow time to speak freely and build goals that match someone’s daily life, whether that means parenting challenges or recovering from addictive behaviors.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way. In telehealth sessions CBT is practiced through talk, worksheets, and short exercises that can be done between meetings to make change more immediate.

The Gottman Method offers concrete communication tools for repairing interaction patterns in relationships. Those techniques can be practiced in video calls where couples or individuals rehearse new ways of speaking and listening in real time.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options, try different methods, and adjust based on what the client finds helpful and doable. Goals and preferences guide the plan rather than a fixed protocol.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - give flexibility for different needs. Video is useful for deep conversations and practicing skills, phone sessions can fit work breaks or low-bandwidth situations, and messaging or live chat can support quick check-ins or shorter reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting and caregiving schedules.
