About Daniel

Daniel Perez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping adults manage relationship stress, jealousy, and intimacy concerns. He speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed by conflict or life changes.

He uses clear, direct conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions typically look at patterns in relationships, communication habits, and how anxiety or past experiences shape current reactions. Daniel draws on techniques that help clients build new skills and make small changes that add up over time.

Daniel has five years of clinical experience and a background in psychology from California State University, Fullerton and a master’s degree in counseling psychology from National University in Costa Mesa, California. He has led court-approved groups such as anger management and substance abuse, and he offers work in both English and Spanish.

In sessions he aims for a practical, person-centered style. He listens for patterns that keep problems alive and then tests workable strategies with clients. That can mean practicing new ways to talk with a partner, learning skills to calm anxiety, or planning steps to handle a difficult life transition.

People who want direct, down-to-earth therapy that focuses on relationships and everyday coping may find his approach helpful. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm session options before booking and to choose what fits their life and schedule.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, relationship worries, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and communication. It can help people understand jealousy, trust issues, and intimacy struggles. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can clarify their own goals and make change at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try approaches that fit the client’s needs and adjust the plan as work progresses.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow sessions without travel time. It also makes it possible to continue steady work through life changes and to practice communication skills in between meetings.
