Andrew Perez, LCMHC

Andrew Perez is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with nine years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, addiction, grief, and related challenges. He also focuses on topics like fatherhood issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and coping with life changes.

He draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Sessions look at current thoughts and routines and build skills you can use day to day. He pays attention to strengths, interests, and how family dynamics shape identity.

Andrew's background includes work in a jail diversion program for teens, a residential evaluation hospital for children and adults, and community programs serving at-risk youth and their families. That experience informs his perspective on family systems, trauma, and recovery from substance use concerns. He notes the importance of social connection and a clear sense of self in emotional wellbeing.

In a session he will review patterns that cause stress and test small behavior changes. He uses measurement-based care to track progress and adjusts approaches when needed. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused, with an emphasis on practical steps that fit everyday life.

Outside of work he stays active by running and hiking, and spends time reading and writing. Family and travel are important to him and shape his view of relationships and priorities.
