About Daniel
Daniel Perez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns. He speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical.
Background and approach
He focuses on real problems like grief, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, and life transitions. Perez draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to each person's needs.
He uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and ACT techniques to clarify values and build small, manageable actions. He also leans on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Daniel emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist set clear goals, track progress, and adjust the plan as needed.
He aims to teach skills that people can use between sessions to handle triggers and reduce overwhelm. Daniel has five years of clinical experience and holds an LMFT license in California.
His background includes work leading court-approved groups such as anger management and substance use programs, offered in both English and Spanish. That group work informs his practical, skills-focused approach.
People often reach out for help with communication, commitment worries, attachment concerns, or coping after loss and change. Daniel frames therapy as a step-by-step process: small changes build into more stable relationships and better day-to-day functioning.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It often suits issues like anxiety, depression, grief, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with stress, panic, low mood, and relationship reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current patterns and can be useful for intimacy, trust, and communication difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daniel partners with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions start with practical goals and adapt over time, so the approach can shift as progress is made or new issues arise.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper exchange is needed. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, skill practice, or when typing helps organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress.
