Misty Weiser, LCSW, CSW

Misty Weiser is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Colorado and Oregon with 4 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping problems, and depression. People often come to her when daily worries, sleep loss, or past trauma make functioning harder.

She uses straightforward, skills-based work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of the approach she uses, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods. Sessions include practical steps to shift thinking, manage emotions, and try new behaviors between meetings.

Misty also makes use of Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when clinically appropriate. She describes Polyvagal Theory as a helpful way to explain how trauma affects the body and memory. Therapy may include learning grounding and regulation skills, practicing new coping strategies, and gradual processing of difficult memories.

She values pets in therapeutic work and has used therapy dogs for several years as part of her practice. That can look like having animals present during sessions when it fits the plan and the person’s needs. Discussions about approaches are practical and collaborative rather than theoretical.

Misty aims to help people build reliable routines around sleep, reduce panic and worry, and address lingering effects of trauma. She can also support coping with chronic pain or illness and work through feelings like guilt, shame, and isolation.
