About Edward
Edward Perez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Edward speaks English and Spanish and aims to make beginning therapy straightforward and respectful.
He draws on somatic approaches alongside attachment-based and client-centered work to help people notice how the body and relationships shape emotional life.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps you can use between meetings, such as grounding skills, communication strategies, and small behavior changes. The tone is direct but compassionate, with attention to each person's values and limits. Edward also supports people with concerns like abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, and substance-related problems.
He is attentive to diverse sexual cultures and can discuss kink and BDSM without judgment. His background includes long-term military service, which informs his practical approach to structure and routine. Therapy sessions can be scheduled in formats that fit busy lives.
Edward works with clients to build a plan that fits their goals and daily rhythms. He encourages small steps and clear tools that help people feel steadier in their day-to-day lives. Starting therapy begins with a short matching process and scheduling.
Edward aims to make the first sessions feel manageable and focused on immediate concerns while planning longer-term goals.
How somatic and relational approaches work online
Edward combines somatic ideas with attachment-based and client-centered approaches to help people feel more grounded and connected. Somatic work encourages noticing body sensations and learning simple grounding skills to reduce stress and anxiety, useful for trauma and chronic pain. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people change how they form closeness and manage conflict. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and adapting the pace to each person's needs.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Edward will discuss which methods fit your goals and comfort level, and adjust the plan as you progress. Sessions are collaborative, with practical tools you can try between meetings and conversation about what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, return to skills between sessions, and keep continuity when travel or work gets in the way. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same therapeutic techniques you would get in person, while adapting exercises and grounding practices to the online setting.
