Background and approach
He has provided supervision to less experienced therapists and teaches part time. In sessions he uses clear, practical methods. He often starts by looking at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
That guides simple, doable steps clients can try between sessions. He also draws on solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals. For clients who struggle with strong emotions or self-regulation, he brings in elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills and distress tolerance.
The mix of approaches depends on each person’s needs and preferences. Dr. Perez conducts therapy in English and works with adults facing a range of concerns, including relationship and communication problems, panic attacks, social anxiety, phobias, mood disorders, ADHD, and multicultural issues.
He aims to build a respectful space where clients can talk through problems and practice new ways of coping. Practical matters such as session format and scheduling are handled collaboratively. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines and comfort levels.
How these approaches work online
Client-centered work focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It means sessions are guided by the client's concerns and pace, with the therapist listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own solutions. This approach supports issues like relationship stress, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT often uses simple exercises and homework to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal behavior. Those skills are useful for managing intense emotions, anger, and relationship conflict.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That may mean focusing on short-term solutions at first, then adding skills training or deeper cognitive work as needed.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days - for example, a quick text check-in, a phone session on a lunch break, or a full video session when more time is available. The variety lets people pick the format that matches their routine and comfort.
