Edward Perez, LPC

Edward Perez is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, trauma, and intimacy concerns. He works in Texas and brings a calm, direct style to sessions. He speaks English and Spanish and has a decade of professional counseling experience.

Before counseling he served 21 years in the military, an experience that shaped his practical approach. He aims to meet people where they are and tailor conversation and plans to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps toward change.

Edward uses talk-based work along with evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-focused ideas. He also draws on client-centered principles to keep the session collaborative and respectful. When helpful, he integrates skills from dialectical behavior work and relationship tools from the Gottman method.

People often come for help with persistent worry, trouble trusting or connecting, or patterns that keep repeating in relationships. He supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, substance concerns, body image, and communication problems. He also has experience addressing abandonment, attachment issues, and the needs of clients within kink and alternative sex culture.

Edward aims for straightforward sessions that balance understanding with practical work. He encourages people to set realistic goals and try concrete skills between meetings. He frames therapy as a partnership and adjusts pace and focus to each person’s situation.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Many of his methods adapt well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people try new interaction habits to build trust and closeness.

Edward also uses client-centered techniques that keep the conversation driven by the person's concerns and priorities. He works collaboratively to choose the approaches that fit a person's goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That means approaches can shift as the work progresses and new needs emerge.

Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls are useful for full sessions that include visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, skill coaching, or times when a shorter, more frequent touchpoint helps maintain progress.
