About Eduardo
Eduardo Paez is a California licensed marriage and family therapist - LMFT - with 14 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing addictions, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical steps clients can use outside appointments.
Eduardo approaches therapy by treating each person as the expert on their own life. He uses Client-Centered principles to listen and reflect, and he draws on other methods to help people change patterns that cause pain. Conversations are direct and plain, aimed at clarifying what matters and what can change next.
He often combines cognitive behavioral ideas with motivational interviewing to break down unhelpful thoughts and build small, achievable goals. For relationship concerns he integrates the Gottman Method to address communication and conflict patterns. Mindfulness-based techniques are used to help people notice responses to stress and practice new ways of reacting.
Sessions typically look like a focused conversation about a current problem, with concrete strategies to try between meetings. Eduardo pays attention to attachment and caregiver stress when these issues come up, and he helps clients connect decisions to broader questions of life purpose and self-love.
People who are feeling stuck after a work change, breakup, health shift, or parenting strain will find a practical style that centers clear next steps. The therapist asks questions, suggests exercises, and reviews what worked at the next meeting so progress can be tracked.
How his approaches work online
Eduardo often combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in session. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can clarify their own goals. CBT looks at thought and behavior patterns and breaks those patterns into small, practical experiments to try between sessions.He also uses the Gottman Method when relationship communication is a focus, bringing structured conversation skills and exercises to improve interaction. These methods are chosen to match a person's immediate concerns, such as addiction recovery, parenting strain, or questions about life purpose.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. This collaborative planning aims to make sessions useful and relevant to everyday life.

Eduardo will help arrange a rhythm of meetings and between-session tasks that fits a client's routine.
