About Eduardo
Eduardo Paez is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 14 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people handle addictions, relationship struggles, family conflict, trauma, and parenting stress.
Background and approach
Eduardo emphasizes a respectful, down-to-earth approach and believes clients know their own story and strengths. He works in a direct, supportive way.
Sessions focus on practical steps that fit daily life. Eduardo listens for what matters most to each person and builds goals from there.
His work draws on several approaches, including client-centered conversations, cognitive behavioral techniques, and motivational interviewing. Those methods help people notice patterns, try small changes, and stay motivated during difficult moments.
Eduardo also uses tools from mindfulness and relationship-focused work to help with emotional regulation and communication. These methods can be applied to parenting challenges, attachment concerns, and caregiver stress.
He helps people practice new skills in real situations. People who meet with him can expect straightforward feedback and a plan that feels manageable.
Eduardo aims to make sessions useful for everyday life, whether addressing grief from trauma or repairing communication in close relationships. He guides each person at their own pace.
How Eduardo blends approaches for online work
Eduardo uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the person leads the story and the therapist follows their priorities; this helps when someone needs to feel heard and make sense of what matters most. He also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes, which is useful for addiction-related urges, anxiety, or low mood. The Gottman Method informs his work on communication and relationship patterns, helping people practice clearer interaction and repair after conflict.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Eduardo will discuss options with each person, try methods that match goals, and adjust as progress unfolds. He aims to build a plan together that fits the client's needs and preferences rather than imposing a single technique.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls let people read body language and practice conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during short breaks. Live chat and text messaging work for brief check-ins, building momentum between sessions, or when writing helps bring clarity. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing everyday demands.
