About Edward

Edward Perez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with a decade of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and intimacy-related concerns.

Background and approach

He approaches each client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, crafting conversations and treatment plans that reflect the individual needs and goals of the person in therapy.

Edward draws on a range of therapeutic tools to address both everyday struggles and more complex patterns such as abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, chronic pain and illness, substance concerns, and challenges related to body image or alternative sexual cultures.

He emphasizes collaboration and tailors his work to the client’s pace and preferences while offering practical strategies and deeper exploratory approaches as needed. Edward communicates in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

He encourages prospective clients to acknowledge the courage involved in beginning therapy and supports people through the intake and scheduling process so they can find a good fit and move forward with care.

Using Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Therapy

Edward often integrates Internal Family Systems and Attachment-Based Therapy into online work. Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people identify and relate to the different parts of themselves - for example parts that are fearful, protective, or withdrawn - and supports healing by helping those parts feel heard and coordinated. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and aims to build new, healthier ways of relating and regulating feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Edward approaches that decision collaboratively. He will explore a client’s goals, preferences, and responses to different methods and adapt the plan over time so that techniques and pacing fit the person’s needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, offer options for people in different locations including international clients, and allow the therapist and client to maintain continuity of care while working toward meaningful change.
