Edward Perez

Edward Perez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship troubles, and intimacy concerns. He speaks English and Spanish and practices in Texas. Edward emphasizes respectful, sensitive care and encourages people who are nervous about starting therapy to take the step forward.

Before counseling, he served in the military for 21 years. That background shaped his focus on practical coping skills and steady support. He works with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, and communication. He also supports people facing chronic pain, caregiving strain, substance concerns, body image struggles, and identity or kink-related questions.

Edward uses a mix of methods to match what each person needs. He draws on client-centered listening to understand a person's experience. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and dialectical skills for managing intense emotions.

When relationship problems are central, he will apply tools from the Gottman Method to improve conversation and repair. Attachment-based ideas guide work on long-standing fears around closeness or abandonment. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical steps, and learning skills that fit daily life.

People can expect straightforward language and a calm style. Plans are adapted as progress is made. He asks about each person's situation and builds a step-by-step approach that feels doable.

How key approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early patterns of closeness affect current relationships. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns, practice different responses, and reduce fear around intimacy. Client-Centered Therapy centers on being heard and understood; the therapist listens closely and reflects back what matters most to the client to help them find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to lower anxiety and lift mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, making the process collaborative and flexible.

Confirm the current online session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes consistent weekly work more manageable for people balancing caregiving, work, or medical challenges.
