About Andrew
Dr. Andrew Perez is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with nine years of post-licensure practice based in Texas. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, and other life changes. He also addresses issues such as sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career struggles, bipolar and ADHD related concerns.
He spent early years working in the criminal justice system and has provided services in university counseling centers since 2013. That background means he is familiar with both campus-related pressures and the challenges people face after involvement with justice settings. He also supervises less experienced counselors and teaches part time.
In sessions he focuses on practical patterns people can notice and change. He describes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a main approach, looking at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings influence one another. He also uses client-centered ideas, solution-focused techniques, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when those methods fit the client's goals.
Sessions tend to be goal-oriented and involve trying different skills and ways of responding. He and the client decide together which strategies to try and how to measure progress. His work emphasizes clear steps you can practice between meetings.
Dr. Perez offers work informed by nine years as an LPC and varied settings including campus counseling and prison mental health services. People who want structured, practical approaches to specific problems may find this style useful.

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new reactions to reduce stress and anxiety. DBT elements emphasize concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.He also draws on client-centered and solution-focused ideas to keep sessions collaborative and goal-oriented. Clients and he work together to pick which methods to try, set clear goals, and review what is or isn't working as therapy progresses.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice strategies between sessions in everyday settings. The therapist will discuss session length and how to structure meetings so they fit with a client's schedule and goals.
