Daniel Perez, LMFT

Daniel Perez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps adults facing anxiety, stress, relationship strain, and life transitions. He offers straightforward support for issues like depression, grief, anger, and concerns around intimacy and communication. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and he draws on practical methods to help clients find relief and clearer direction.

Daniel uses a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioral ideas and attachment-focused work to address patterns that keep people stuck. He also incorporates acceptance and commitment strategies and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when those tools fit. In session he focuses on concrete steps, skill building, and making sense of relationship dynamics.

He has five years of clinical experience and holds the LMFT credential as a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. His background includes running court-approved groups such as anger management and substance-related programs, and he brings that group work experience into one-on-one care where useful.

People who choose him often want practical tools for day-to-day coping and clearer ways to handle conflict and closeness. He works collaboratively to set goals and try strategies in real life between sessions. For Spanish speakers he offers direct conversation and culturally informed perspective.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. Daniel favors an approachable, goal-oriented style with attention to relationships and emotional regulation.

Practical approaches for online therapy and relationships

Daniel combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behavior through clear exercises and homework; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and improving day-to-day coping. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape expectations and connection, which can help with intimacy, communication, and trust issues.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Daniel works collaboratively to choose methods that match a client's goals, needs, and comfort level, and he adjusts plans as progress is made. The emphasis is on practical steps and on trying small changes between sessions to see what helps.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing brief support and skill practice between meetings. These options help clients fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
