About Misty
Misty Perry is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with four years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Perry approaches therapy in a straightforward way. She treats clients as the expert on their own lives and focuses on practical steps they can try between sessions. Conversations look at unhelpful thoughts, patterns in behavior, and small experiments to see what helps in daily life.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns that increase distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used when values and committed action help clients move forward despite difficult feelings. Client-centered principles shape how she listens and responds in session.
Misty also uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and stress tolerance in high-pressure moments. Sessions aim to give clear tools for handling panic, social anxiety, communication problems, and caregiver stress.
Her practical focus suits people who want structured, step-by-step ways to notice habits and try new responses. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to talk about goals and next steps.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and habits that keep problems going, then tries short exercises to test new responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify personal values and to support steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens, focusing on reflecting what the client says and helping them organize their own thinking.Choosing the right method is part of the work. She will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before to decide which approaches to emphasize. That choice can change over time based on how a person responds in session.
Practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy week and making brief check-ins possible when schedules are tight. If you want to begin, confirm the specific session options available through the platform before booking. The starting steps are to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to set goals and plan next steps.
