About Andrew

Andrew Perez is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with nine years of experience working across juvenile diversion, residential hospital, and community-based settings.

Background and approach

He frames mental health through a broad lens that considers biological, familial, spiritual, and social influences on identity, and he emphasizes measurable progress alongside practical skill building. Andrew draws on strengths-based ideas and cognitive techniques to help clients shift unhelpful thinking and pursue meaningful change.

His practice integrates evidence-informed methods to address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting and fatherhood issues, and many other struggles. Andrew pays attention to daily routines and life habits as levers for growth while also exploring values, purpose, and self-regard.

He combines supportive listening with active interventions so clients can both understand patterns and develop tools to manage them in everyday life. Andrew enjoys running, hiking, reading, and writing outside of work, and he brings that same curiosity and engagement to therapy.

Based in North Carolina, he offers services in English and uses a collaborative approach to help people build clearer perspectives, healthier habits, and more resilient relationships.

Integrating therapeutic approaches in online care

Andrew frequently uses Internal Family Systems to help clients explore different inner parts and understand how those parts influence thoughts, emotions, and behavior; this approach can be useful for work on trauma, self-criticism, and complex patterns. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values, accepting difficult feelings, and taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Additionally, client-centered methods provide a supportive atmosphere where the therapist follows the client's lead and emphasizes empathy and collaboration.

Finding the right approach is viewed as a collaborative process. Andrew works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so the work feels relevant and doable rather than prescriptive.

Online therapy with him is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible and accessible. These options allow people to attend sessions from home or other convenient locations, maintain momentum between meetings, and choose the format that best suits their schedule and communication style.
