About Daniel

Daniel Perez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and self esteem concerns. He offers care in English and Spanish and focuses on practical steps that fit each person’s life. Daniel aims to make sessions straightforward and centered on the issues that matter most to the client.

Daniel trained in psychology and counseling in California, and he brings five years of professional experience to his practice. He has led court-approved groups such as Anger Management and Substance Abuse in both English and Spanish. That group work informs his approach to setting clear goals and tracking progress.

In sessions he emphasizes collaboration. He listens for what matters most, then uses conversational, skills-based methods to help people change unhelpful patterns. He combines approaches such as acceptance and commitment work, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and attachment-informed thinking to match the client’s needs.

Daniel is comfortable addressing relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, career concerns, and other life transitions. He adapts his methods when someone needs emotion regulation tools, communication practice, or help rebuilding trust after a separation.

His style is practical and down-to-earth. Clients can expect clear options for tackling problems, doable exercises between sessions, and check-ins on progress. Daniel invites people to begin by outlining their most pressing concerns and goals so therapy can start with a clear focus.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Daniel uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and improving motivation.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives clear skills to change patterns. CBT is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Daniel collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and comfort level. Sessions begin with a focus on what the client wants to change and which strategies feel most useful.

Confirm current online session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Many people appreciate online therapy for fitting appointments into a busy life, reducing travel time, and making it easier to keep consistent weekly work. Others like shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited. Discussing preferences up front allows the therapist to adapt exercises and homework to work well for each person.
