About Daniel

Daniel Perez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with five years of clinical experience who works with adults facing relationship and interpersonal challenges.

Background and approach

He offers care in both English and Spanish and draws on a collaborative, individualized approach to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, intimacy and communication difficulties. Daniel also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, ADHD-related concerns, parenting strain, career transitions, and issues of self-esteem and anger.

He trained in psychology and counseling in California and brings experience running court-approved groups in Anger Management and Substance Abuse in both languages. His work blends practical, skills-based methods with attention to personal values and attachment patterns, tailoring interventions to each person’s goals and life context.

Daniel uses evidence-informed techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, while also incorporating acceptance-oriented and attachment-focused strategies depending on client needs. He invites prospective clients to start with a brief matching process and schedule sessions that fit their availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Daniel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. He also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values, build psychological flexibility, and take action toward meaningful goals even when uncomfortable emotions are present. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore relational patterns and improve communication and emotional connection within partnerships and families.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. He collaborates with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adjusts techniques over time so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to attend sessions around work and family responsibilities. These formats support ongoing practice of skills between sessions and can increase access for bilingual clients throughout California. The variety of options helps clients maintain continuity of care while pursuing practical strategies and relational change.
