About Eduardo
Eduardo Paez is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with addictions, relationship challenges, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting strain.
He approaches sessions as a collaborative process. He treats the person in front of him as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations focus on specific problems and on practical steps a person can try between meetings.
Eduardo uses a mix of approaches to match the problem and the person. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. He applies Client-Centered methods to listen and help people find their own direction. He also integrates Gottman Method ideas for relationship work and mindfulness skills to manage strong emotions.
Sessions tend to be structured and goal-oriented while keeping space for personal reflection. Eduardo helps people name patterns, practice different responses, and track small changes over time. He also addresses attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, and questions about life purpose and self-worth.
People who contact him can expect clear, practical discussion and steps to try between sessions. To start, prospective clients use the site flow to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Eduardo commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then practice different ways of responding. CBT sessions focus on concrete exercises and homework tasks that can be done between meetings. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and reflecting so clients can clarify goals and make decisions that feel right for them. For relationship concerns he incorporates elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce repeated conflicts.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match current goals, stressors, and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made and needs change.
Confirm current session format options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer online meetings for greater scheduling flexibility, while others use them to practice skills in everyday settings. The therapist will discuss which session rhythm and structure fit into the client’s daily life.
