About Andrew

Andrew Perez is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with nine years of experience in a variety of care settings. He has worked in jail diversion for adolescents, residential evaluation hospitals for both children and adults, and community programs serving at-risk youth and their families.

Background and approach

Perez emphasizes the role of identity, family dynamics, and social connection in overall wellbeing and draws on evidence-based interventions to help clients build healthier perspectives and habits. His practice highlights cognitive approaches and positive psychology, using strategies that target thoughts and daily routines to support growth.

He incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and existential ideas to tailor work to each person’s needs. In sessions he balances strengths-based exploration with practical skill-building, measurement-based care, and insights from neuroscience to track progress and refine the plan.

Online approaches that meet you where you live

Andrew integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into online work, using each approach to target different needs. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. ACT emphasizes values, acceptance, and committed action to help clients move toward meaningful goals even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and response to initial strategies, then adjusts methods and techniques so the work remains practical and personally relevant.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels. These options allow continuity of care across locations within North Carolina, support incremental skill practice between meetings, and make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while working toward clearer routines and coping strategies.
