About Andrew
Andrew Perez is an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) with nine years of experience practicing in North Carolina. He works with people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and family challenges, and social anxiety and phobia. He also addresses parenting, career questions, grief, and issues like ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Andrew draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered and existential ideas. Sessions often focus on noticing thoughts, identifying strengths, and building practical routines that reduce distress. He uses measurement-based care to track progress and shape treatment decisions.
He has worked in a range of settings, including a jail diversion program for teens, a residential evaluation hospital for children and adults, and community programs for at-risk youth and their families. This variety informs a flexible approach to common life stresses and behavior patterns.
In sessions, Andrew emphasizes clear, actionable steps. He helps people map daily habits and practice new skills between meetings. Therapy time includes discussing values and identity, and testing small changes that can improve everyday functioning.
Clients who prefer direct, practical work that connects thoughts, routines, and personal strengths may find his style useful. The work aims to increase coping skills and clarify personal goals. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take committed steps toward those values while accepting uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for ongoing anxiety and when avoidance gets in the way of living fully.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It often includes practical exercises and short experiments that reduce anxiety and change how daily routines run.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and what they prefer to try. That choice can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. The practice notes that sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so work or childcare gaps are smaller. These practical benefits help clients use therapy more consistently while they test new skills.
