About Dylan
Dylan Perese is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with three years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English.
Dylan uses clear, practical methods to address everyday problems. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques to focus on values and present experience. These methods guide short, concrete steps clients can try between sessions.
His work includes support for communication problems, coping with disasters, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and issues around infidelity. He also offers help with hospice and end-of-life concerns, questions about life purpose, mood struggles, and building self-love. Dylan invites discussion of spiritual experience when clients want that included in sessions.
He encourages journaling between appointments to track moods, reactions, and progress. That practice is used to turn insights into action and to notice patterns that come up in daily life. Sessions aim for practical tools clients can use right away.
Dylan keeps language plain and focuses on doable skills. People who want structured, step-by-step work on thinking, behavior, and communication will find his approach straightforward. To confirm current session options and scheduling, follow the platform steps before booking.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
CBT is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build alternative responses with short exercises and homework. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and changing daily habits. ACT focuses on values and committed action, helping people notice what matters and take steps that align with those values. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can explore their experience and decide what to try next.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will talk with the client about goals and preferences and choose methods together. That collaborative process helps decide whether more CBT practice, values work from ACT, or a listening-centered session is most useful at any point.
The platform steps describe how to begin; confirm the available session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins without needing extra commute time. Some approaches pair well with short exercises to try between meetings, which can fit into busy schedules and reinforce progress.
