Daniel Perez

Daniel Perez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. He speaks English and Spanish and focuses on helping adults who are dealing with relationship problems, anger, stress, and related concerns. Daniel uses straightforward, practical work in sessions so people can notice change between meetings.

He earned 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. Daniel has five years of clinical experience and has led court-approved groups, including Anger Management and Substance Abuse, in both English and Spanish.

In sessions he listens first, then helps clients set small, clear goals. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and on acceptance and commitment approaches to help clients clarify values and take meaningful steps. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas shape how he builds trust and explores relationship patterns.

People work with him on things like anxiety, depression, parenting stress, intimacy and communication problems, grief, career transitions, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life changes. He also supports clients dealing with trauma, body image, codependency, and issues around commitment or control.

Daniel aims for practical tools and real conversations. He helps clients practice new skills between sessions and checks in on progress. Prospective clients are invited to start by completing the site intake so they can schedule a first appointment.

How Daniel’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when emotions are hard. It is often used for anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current interactions and emotional reactions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean trying a skill-based CBT tool for a few weeks, then shifting to ACT exercises to build motivation, or using attachment work to unpack relationship patterns.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or making bilingual appointments simpler to arrange. Therapists and licensed professionals can tailor the pace and tools to what works best for a client's schedule and daily routines.
