Andrew Perez, LCMHC

Andrew Perez is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with nine years of experience. He has worked in juvenile jail diversion, residential hospital settings, and community programs for at-risk youth. He helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, depression, addictions, and relationship or family concerns.

Andrew frames identity, family patterns, and social connections as central to wellbeing. He talks about how thoughts shape behavior and uses that idea to set practical goals. Sessions focus on building clearer self-understanding and steady day-to-day routines.

His work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, along with client-centered and existential ideas. He also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation is a focus. Interventions can include skill practice, values-based goals, and real-world behavior experiments.

Andrew often begins by mapping strengths, interests, and daily habits. From there he helps clients try small, testable changes that reduce reactivity and increase control over anger and stress. Measurement-based steps are used to track progress over time.

Outside of sessions he stays active - running, hiking, reading, and writing - and he brings a practical, straightforward style to clinical work. People who want clear tools for managing temper, rebuilding relationships, or sorting life transitions may find this approach useful.
