About Andrew Perez

Andrew Perez, LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor), combines an active personal life with years of clinical experience to support individuals and families. He enjoys running, hiking, reading, and writing, and places value on family and travel as sources of perspective and resilience.

He has worked in the mental health field for a little over 8 years, with roles that include a jail diversion program for teens, a residential evaluation hospital serving children and adults, and a community-based program for at-risk children, teens, and their families. These varied settings shaped his understanding of how identity, family systems, and social connection influence well-being.

Andrew believes a healthy view of oneself and of one’s relationships can strongly affect mental health. He emphasizes the role of thought patterns as a foundation for growth and uses interventions from Positive Psychology and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients move toward their potential. His practice is informed by an array of therapeutic models, including Adlerian individual-based counseling, client-centered therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, collaborative problem-solving, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and existential therapy.

Therapy with Andrew is supported by measurement-based care and guided by insights from neuroscience. In collaborative work he focuses on a person’s strengths, interests, and daily routines, aiming to maximize existing resources while building practical skills in areas of struggle.

One of the major advantages is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that works best for them, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapeutic work into a busy schedule or to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.

Therapists who practice online are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to seek a different fit at any time if they prefer a new approach or clinician. Many people find that virtual therapy provides practical benefits without sacrificing the collaborative, evidence-informed work that supports personal growth and improved coping.
