Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Daniel Perez integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into his online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take action toward a meaningful life while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect present-day connections and can be useful for couples, intimacy concerns, and attachment-related difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical skills for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Daniel works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds.

The online format supports flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work and family life, continue therapy during major life changes, and engage in treatment in the way that feels most comfortable for each person.
