About Andrew
Dr. Andrew Perez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with nine years of post-licensure experience. He works with adults on concerns such as anger, anxiety, stress, depression, relationships, addictions, trauma, grief, and sleep problems. He also lists ADHD, bipolar disorder, and intimacy-related issues among his focus areas.
He spent early years providing mental health services in the criminal justice system and has worked in a university counseling center since 2013. He holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Rehabilitation Counseling and has experience supervising other clinicians and interns. He combines clinical work with part-time teaching and remote counseling experience.
Perez favors practical, skills-based work in sessions. He often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at links between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when they fit the concern.
In a session he helps people identify patterns that fuel their anger and teaches tools to change those patterns. Conversations include specific strategies - such as rethinking unhelpful thoughts, practicing coping skills, and setting realistic goals - rather than abstract theory.
He aims to match methods to what each person needs and prefers. When supervision or training needs arise he can consult with less experienced counselors. People who want straightforward, skill-focused work around anger and related problems often find his style practical and direct.
How sessions work
How his approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns in a respectful way. It supports clear conversation about what matters most and helps build a working plan together.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and emotions interact. Online sessions use CBT to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, test them, and practice alternative responses that reduce anger and anxiety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) approaches provide concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Elements of DBT are used when people need techniques for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and communication.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove commuting time so appointments are more practical. These conveniences help integrate skill practice into everyday routines.
