About Daniel

Daniel Perez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 130827) who works with adults navigating relationship strain, interpersonal conflicts, and life transitions. He blends practical skills with compassionate listening to help clients facing stress, anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, grief, and depression.

Background and approach

Daniel emphasizes individualized care, adapting methods to each person's needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all plan. Trained with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from California State University, Fullerton and a master’s in counseling psychology from National University in Costa Mesa, he brings five years of clinical experience to his practice.

He has led court-approved groups on topics such as anger management and substance abuse, offering services in both English and Spanish. His work also addresses intimacy, parenting, career concerns, trauma and abuse, and a broad range of relational and self-related issues.

Daniel favors collaboration and tailors treatment using evidence-informed approaches. He aims to create a therapeutic space where adults can develop concrete coping skills, improve communication, and pursue meaningful changes in their relationships and daily lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Daniel commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility; ACT supports coping with difficult emotions and moving toward meaningful action. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and anger-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy informs his work with relationship and intimacy issues by exploring early patterns that shape current interpersonal dynamics and improving emotional connection.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts methods and exercises accordingly so treatment feels relevant and achievable over time.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for adults balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and practice new skills between meetings while fitting therapy into a busy schedule.
