About Edward

Edward Perez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and depression. He also lists codependency and related concerns among his focus areas.

His approach emphasizes clear, direct conversation. Sessions tend to center on understanding how patterns develop in relationships and daily life. Edward draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current connections. He also uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage strong emotions.

In practical terms he helps people notice people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing themselves in a relationship. He outlines problems like abandonment fears, communication struggles, and dealing with a partner's substance use. He also works with clients on intimacy issues, body image concerns, blended family stress, and caregiver strain.

Edward spent 21 years in the military before moving into counseling work. That background informs a straightforward style and an emphasis on routines and coping skills. He offers sessions in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

He asks clients to take a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin. Costs vary with location and are handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. If someone wants to explore whether his approach fits, the first meeting is used to set goals and plan next steps.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Edward uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how earlier relationships shape current patterns. That work helps people understand clinginess, avoidance, and problems saying no in close relationships. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can clarify their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood. Finding the best approach is collaborative. Edward will discuss which methods fit the client's goals and preferences and adjust over time. The first sessions are often used to set goals, try a few techniques, and decide what to focus on next. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for a quick check-in that does not require being on camera.
