About Andrew
Dr. Andrew Perez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. He works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, anger, grief, addictions, and life changes. He also helps with issues like sleep problems, low self-esteem, career stress, and ADHD related struggles.
He trained in psychology and rehabilitation counseling and has worked in university counseling centers and the Texas prison system. He earned a Doctor of Philosophy in Rehabilitation Counseling in 2018. He became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2013 and later added LPC-Supervisor responsibilities in 2015.
In sessions he focuses largely on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings connect. He also uses Solution-Focused and Dialectical Behavior Therapy approaches when they fit the client's goals. He describes selecting methods together with the person in front of him rather than sticking to one fixed plan.
Dr. Perez has experience providing mental health care to a wide range of adults, including university students and people he saw while working in correctional settings. He also supervises less experienced clinicians and teaches part time.
When meeting someone new he aims to sort out practical, short-term goals and build skills people can use between sessions. Expect conversations that focus on specific patterns, clear techniques to try, and follow-up on what changed between meetings.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are often used together in his work. Client-Centered methods focus on listening carefully and working from the client's priorities, while Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and builds practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness and is helpful when someone needs step-by-step tools for distress. He uses DBT-informed strategies alongside CBT when clients would benefit from skills practice and structured exercises.
Choosing the best approach is collaborative. He will review goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. The process is about testing what works and shaping sessions to fit the client's needs and preferences.
