About Daniel
Daniel Perez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who focuses on helping adults who feel stuck by relationship stress, anxiety, or big life changes. He speaks English and Spanish and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for people juggling work, parenting, or day-to-day pressures. He listens for what matters most and helps clients name patterns that cause pain.
Conversations often look at communication, intimacy, and how past attachments shape present behavior.
Background and approach
Sessions mix listening with concrete steps to try between meetings so people can test new ways of relating. Daniel draws on existential ideas to help people face hard questions about meaning, choice, and identity. He also uses acceptance and commitment techniques to help clients act on their values even when emotions feel overwhelming.
Cognitive behavioral tools are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior in the moment. With five years of clinical experience, he has led court-approved groups like anger management and substance use programs. He treats concerns such as grief, trauma, ADHD, parenting strain, and career stress while also addressing issues like body image, codependency, and intimacy challenges.
His approach is collaborative: he matches practical skills to what each person wants to change. People who prefer direct, value-focused work and clear next steps tend to find his style useful. Sessions are offered from California in both English and Spanish.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Existential Therapy asks questions about meaning, choice, and identity to help people understand why certain patterns keep repeating and what matters most to them. It can be useful for anyone feeling empty, stuck, or unsure about major life directions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches how to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action toward personal values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic stress by focusing on small, value-driven steps.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connection styles and communication. It helps people identify attachment patterns that affect intimacy, trust, and conflict in relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is helpful when visual connection matters, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can fit brief check-ins or times when scheduling is tight. These options let people fit therapy around work, parenting, or travel while keeping a steady therapeutic process.
