Daniel Perez

Daniel Perez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions. He speaks English and Spanish and draws on five years of clinical experience to support people facing grief, parenting strain, career stress, and issues with self-esteem and anger.

Daniel keeps sessions grounded and practical. He uses mindfulness-based approaches alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. He aims for clear goals and small, doable steps rather than abstract explanations.

His background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from California State University, Fullerton, and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from National University in Costa Mesa, California. He has led court-approved groups such as Anger Management and Substance Abuse in both English and Spanish, which shaped his direct, skills-focused style.

In therapy Daniel pays attention to relationships and attachment patterns and how they affect daily life. He works with adults on issues like communication breakdown, commitment worries, body image, and coping after loss. He also supports people navigating aspects of kink and alternative sexual culture without judgment.

Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs. Daniel encourages practical exercises between meetings, like brief mindfulness practices or communication experiments, so skills can be tried out in real life. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Daniel blends Mindfulness Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in ways that fit day-to-day life. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention practices to notice stress and strong emotions without getting swept away. It can help with anxiety, anger, and relationship reactivity. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and taking committed steps even when uncomfortable feelings appear, which is useful for life changes, low motivation, and avoidance.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, test methods, and adjust techniques based on what feels most helpful. That means trying practical exercises, adjusting homework, and checking in about what works in real situations.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online formats can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills in the settings where they live and interact, which can be a practical advantage when working on relationship patterns or daily routines.
