About Edward
Edward Perez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. He aims to make the first step feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to begin therapy.
He draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions focus on listening first and then building a plan together. He adapts how he talks and which tools he uses to the situation in front of him rather than applying the same steps to everyone.
Edward also works with people coping with chronic pain, illness, and disability, caregiver stress, and the effects of divorce or separation. Other areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, and some concerns related to addiction. He names these topics up front so people know what he commonly addresses in session.
Those who prefer therapy in Spanish can be seen in that language as well as in English. His military background is part of his experience, and it informs how he thinks about stress, structure, and transition. He treats people with respect and sensitivity while helping them set realistic steps for change.
Edward encourages a collaborative approach. He works with each person to set goals, practice new skills between sessions, and check progress as therapy continues.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships and feelings of safety; online work can use this approach to map patterns and practice new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client's lead to build understanding and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Edward will discuss your goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. The plan can change as you notice what helps and what does not, and progress is checked regularly so adjustments are straightforward and collaborative.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by cutting travel time, letting you meet from a convenient location, or offering shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Working this way can make practicing skills between sessions easier and help therapy fit around work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
