About Daniel
Daniel Perez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues. He also supports people navigating life changes, ADHD, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, and depression. Daniel speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy approachable and practical.
He uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels stuck and where change matters most. Sessions focus on building skills people can use between meetings, such as emotion regulation, clearer communication, and behavior strategies that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Daniel trained in counseling psychology at the master’s level and has five years of clinical experience working in California. He has led court-approved groups like anger management and substance use classes and draws on that group work when helpful for individual clients. The approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioral tools and attachment-informed thinking.
That mix helps when worries, relationship patterns, or painful history keep repeating. Dialectical behavior techniques are used when people need concrete skills for handling intense emotions. Sessions are tailored to each person’s goals and pace.
Daniel emphasizes clear steps, collaborative planning, and checking in on progress so clients know what to expect. He welcomes conversations in either English or Spanish and aims to make therapy useful and understandable.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and coping skills work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns shape current relationships and communication, which can help with intimacy and relationship conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. This collaborative process makes it easier to focus on what matters most to the client.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or be used when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief updates, coaching-style support, or working through skills between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, and everyday life.
