Dr. Andrew Perez, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Andrew

Dr. Andrew Perez helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. He also supports those dealing with relationship concerns, addictions, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem struggles.

He uses straightforward approaches to help clients find practical changes they can try between sessions. He is based in Texas and holds an LPC credential. Andrew trained in psychology and rehabilitation counseling and has worked as a therapist since 2011.

He spent part of his early career providing mental health services in the Texas prison system and later worked in a university counseling center.

Background and approach

Over time he moved into supervisory and teaching roles while continuing to provide direct counseling. His practice draws mainly from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can test and change unhelpful patterns. He also uses Solution-Focused methods to set clear goals and DBT-informed skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

He chooses methods based on what a client needs and prefers. He has nine years of professional experience and the LPC license listed as TX LPC 68343. He has delivered services in both in-person settings earlier in his career and via online formats more recently.

Sessions are offered in English. In appointments he aims for plain talk and clear steps. Clients can expect collaborative work on specific problems and practical tools to try between meetings.

The focus is on small, achievable changes that build over time.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and making sure the client feels heard while they decide on goals and changes. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort out feelings and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, emotions, and actions connect and teaches straightforward techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, panic, and many everyday struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust based on what is most helpful. This collaborative process helps tailor skill-building and problem-solving to each person’s needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions fit when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to use therapy tools consistently and fit support into daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
