Background and approach

He has nine years of post-license practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and has supervised other counselors. Sessions focus on what matters now. He uses short, focused techniques to reduce panic and avoidant behavior.

Conversations often include steps to change unhelpful thoughts and to try small, manageable actions between sessions. Behavioral skills are offered alongside problem-solving and goal-based work. For people with strong emotional reactions, he brings strategies to regulate mood and tolerate distress.

He also addresses sleep, concentration, and compulsive behaviors as part of daily life functioning. Dr. Perez adapts his approach to each person.

He combines cognitive behavioral tools, solution-focused planning, and elements of dialectical behavior methods when useful. People who want straightforward exercises and clear next steps often find this practical style helpful.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Dr. Perez commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy centers on how thoughts, behaviors, and emotions connect and offers exercises to test and shift unhelpful thinking and avoidance. Solution-focused work emphasizes setting clear goals and trying small, practical steps that move a person toward those goals.

Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. He works with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan together as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging work well for shorter check-ins or when typing out thoughts feels clearer. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between in-person commitments.
