About Edward

Edward Perez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of practice and a background that includes 21 years of military service. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship challenges, and intimacy-related issues. He speaks English and Spanish and works with clients in Texas as well as some international clients.

He uses a straightforward, respectful style in sessions and adapts his approach to each person’s needs. Edward focuses on clear goals and practical steps, while keeping conversations compassionate and direct. He aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people who may be nervous about starting therapy.

Edward draws on several familiar approaches when shaping treatment. He often leans on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect feelings and behavior. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new actions.

When relationship issues arise, elements of the Gottman Method guide communication and problem-solving work. For emotional regulation and coping, dialectical behavior therapy tools may be introduced to build skills that reduce overwhelm.

Every plan is tailored to the individual. Sessions are built around what the client wants to change and what fits their life. Edward emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and clear steps so people can see progress without adding pressure.

How Edward's Approaches Work Online

Edward uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that translate well to an online setting. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape reactions and trust; it helps people understand their patterns in close relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors that lead to different results, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Edward will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and lifestyle. Sessions are shaped by the client's needs and preferences rather than a fixed protocol, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people continue work when life circumstances make in-person visits harder. Edward will help plan a schedule and approach that matches routines and goals.
