About Andrew
Andrew Perez is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with nine years of experience. He blends practical strategies with a calm, direct manner to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and other challenges. He is based in North Carolina and works with adults on issues like depression, addictions, grief, and self-esteem.
Andrew has worked across settings that include jail diversion for teens, residential evaluation hospitals, and community programs for at-risk youth.
Background and approach
Those roles shaped his focus on how identity, family dynamics, and social connections affect wellbeing. He uses that background to notice patterns that matter in day-to-day life. In sessions he pays attention to strengths and routine.
Andrew often helps people spot small habits that can reduce anxiety or improve mood. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to change unhelpful thinking and build actions that match values. He also uses client-centered and existential ideas to help people feel heard and to consider life meaning and purpose.
Treatment choices are practical and measurable so progress can be tracked over time. Andrew encourages clear goals and simple steps toward them. People who work with him can expect a collaborative approach - talking through problems, practicing new skills, and adjusting plans when needed.
He focuses on what someone can do now to reduce distress and move toward what matters most to them.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, anger, and life transitions by teaching people to make space for difficult feelings while moving toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, cravings, and anger by giving specific tools to change daily habits. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, offering empathy and reflection to help someone explore identity, relationships, and meaning.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as progress is measured and priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone is a good option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
