About Andrew
Andrew Perez is an LCMHC - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina with nine years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and parenting challenges. He also supports work on self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes.
Andrew draws on several ways of working rather than a single method. He uses cognitive behavioral ideas to look at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take steps toward those values. Client-centered ideas guide how he listens and responds in session.
Sessions tend to focus on practical routines and doable skills. Andrew looks at daily habits, relationships, and strengths that people already have. He encourages short experiments and small changes that build new patterns over time.
His background includes work in juvenile jail diversion, a residential evaluation hospital, and community programs for at-risk children, teens, and families. Those roles shaped his interest in identity, family dynamics, and social connection as parts of mental health.
When someone comes for help with anger or frustration, he starts by clarifying what matters to that person and then picks straightforward strategies from CBT, ACT, and other approaches. Sessions mix conversation, skill practice, and measurement-based notes so progress can be tracked.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Andrew commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his work. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and teaching practical skills to change them, which can help with anger, anxiety, or low mood. ACT helps people clarify their values and take small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings.Finding the best approach is part of the first sessions. He will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals, symptoms, and daily life. That may mean practicing CBT skills one week and exploring values-based ACT exercises the next, with adjustments based on what helps.
The therapist's profile does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, fit therapy into a workday, or keep appointments when travel is difficult. They also let people use written exercises or screen-shared worksheets during a session, which can speed skill practice and tracking progress.
