About Daniel
Daniel Perez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps adults manage anxiety, stress, and relationship struggles. He speaks English and Spanish and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. He meets people where they are and focuses on the issues they bring into the room.
He trained in psychology and counseling in California and has five years of experience working with adults on common life challenges. Those include coping with change, grief, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, career concerns, and intimacy problems.
Background and approach
He also works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, ADHD, and difficulties tied to attachment and abandonment. In sessions he uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-focused talk. He also uses client-centered skills to listen and build a working partnership.
The goal is to help people notice what matters to them, change unhelpful patterns, and build small habits that make life feel more manageable. Daniel has led court-approved groups like anger management and substance abuse programs in both English and Spanish. That group work gave him experience guiding practical exercises and teaching skills people can use between sessions.
He frames therapy as skill-building rather than only discussion. People who choose him can expect a down-to-earth, goal-oriented style. He will collaborate on goals and check progress along the way.
He offers multiple online formats to fit different schedules and communication preferences.
Approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can help people with anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions by shifting the aim from eliminating feelings to building a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and problems with worry or avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy concentrates on patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect trust and intimacy, which can help people working through relationship and attachment issues.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, past experiences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility around work, family, and travel. Video is useful for full sessions and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or text can support ongoing coaching, quick check-ins, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still using evidence-informed approaches.
