About Andrew
Andrew Perez is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with nine years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. He draws on practical approaches to help clients notice what matters to them and make small, manageable changes. Andrew keeps language simple and sessions down-to-earth so parents can follow along and act on what they learn.
Before offering online work he helped teens and adults in a variety of settings.
Background and approach
His background includes jail diversion programs for adolescents, a residential evaluation hospital, and community programs serving at-risk children and teens. Those roles shaped his focus on identifying strengths and supporting daily routines that build skills. Andrew believes identity and relationships matter for mental health.
He pays attention to family patterns, social connections, and how people view themselves. Sessions often look at thoughts, habits, and values to find practical ways forward. He uses narrative ideas to help people reframe life stories and notice different possibilities.
Cognitive-behavioral tools are part of his work for tackling anxious or negative thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used when values and meaningful action are the priority. In a typical session he will highlight strengths, set manageable goals, and suggest routines that support progress.
He works with issues such as parenting strain, addiction concerns, body image, career decisions, and coping after loss. The goal is steady, achievable change rather than overnight fixes.

Online session options
Online approaches that reshape stories and behavior
Andrew often blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to match what a person needs. Narrative Therapy helps people notice the stories they tell about themselves and try out new, more helpful storylines that open up options.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages identifying personal values and taking small steps toward them. It is useful when someone wants to act despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and past experiences. Together they will try approaches that fit current needs and adjust based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different communication needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging supports short updates or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
