About Daniel
Daniel Perez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the everyday strains of parenting and career life. He speaks English and Spanish and uses straightforward language to make therapy feel practical and approachable. Daniel aims to create a space where people can talk through problems and find clearer ways to move forward.
He draws on five years of clinical experience and training in counseling psychology. Sessions focus on improving communication, managing strong emotions like anger, and coping with life changes such as separation or grief. He also supports people facing trauma, issues around attachment, and questions about identity, body image, or sexual expression in kink and BDSM contexts.
Daniel uses a mix of approaches to fit the person in front of him. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work to identify unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and action, and attachment-based thinking to understand relationship patterns. He can also incorporate dialectical skills for emotion regulation when needed.
He has led court-approved groups such as Anger Management and Substance Abuse in both English and Spanish. Daniel emphasizes a tailored plan for each person rather than a one-size-fits-all method. He encourages clients to set concrete goals and practice skills between sessions.
To start, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability. Sessions use a cancellable subscription model, so billing can be adjusted over time.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are uncomfortable. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early and current relationship patterns shape expectations and reactions in close relationships, helping people improve communication and intimacy.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Daniel will talk with each person about their goals, challenges, and preferences. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs change.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into a workday or busy home life. They can also allow quieter check-ins that don't require camera use, or shorter sessions when time is limited. Many people find these practical benefits make it easier to practice skills between meetings and keep therapy consistent.
