Eduardo Paez, LMFT - Therapist in California

About Eduardo

Eduardo Paez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 14 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing addictions, relationship stress, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. Eduardo emphasizes clients' strengths and believes they know their own stories best.

He aims to make the first step toward a more fulfilling life feel achievable and supported. Eduardo draws from several therapy approaches and adapts them to each family or individual situation.

Background and approach

He uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address patterns of thinking and behavior. He also relies on the Gottman Method when relationship dynamics and communication skills are central to the work. Mindfulness-based techniques appear in sessions to help people notice reactions and build new coping habits.

Motivational Interviewing is used when clients face change related to addictions or difficult choices. Client-Centered Therapy guides the overall stance by keeping conversations focused on the person’s goals and perspective. In sessions Eduardo listens for attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication breakdowns, and questions about life purpose or self-worth.

He helps people talk through these issues, try new ways of interacting, and practice small changes between meetings. The pace is collaborative and grounded in the client’s priorities. He provides therapy in English and works within the California licensing framework.

Eduardo frames therapy as a partnership aimed at steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Eduardo blends practical methods to help people manage relationship and family challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. The Gottman Method emphasizes clear communication and problem-solving skills for people dealing with relationship conflict and interaction patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and support calmer responses to stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match goals, preferences, and the nature of the concerns. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as progress is made and needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls make it possible to have face-to-face conversations from home, while phone, live chat, and text-based messaging provide options for shorter check-ins or when more frequent contact helps maintain momentum. These formats support steady progress and make it easier to practice skills between sessions.

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.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
