Misty Perry, LMFT

Misty Perry is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She centers her work on practical steps people can take when stress, anxiety, or life transitions feel overwhelming. Misty emphasizes the client’s own strengths and experience in guiding change, and she meets people where they are as they begin therapy.

With four years of clinical experience, Misty has helped people manage depression, grief, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, communication problems, midlife shifts, panic attacks, social anxiety, and women’s issues. Her approach aims to break problems into manageable pieces so people can try things that actually help.

Misty draws on a mix of therapy methods to fit each person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and routines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take meaningful action. She also incorporates client-centered listening to make space for each person’s story and DBT skills for emotional regulation when needed.

In sessions Misty focuses on clear goals and simple practices. People can expect straightforward feedback, gentle challenge, and exercises to use between meetings. She encourages small experiments that build confidence and reduce overwhelm.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values; it often uses exercises that people can practice between sessions to build momentum. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and behavior cycles, then trying concrete strategies to change them; this approach is helpful for anxiety, panic, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center and relies on listening, reflection, and collaboration to help people make sense of their challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Misty will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration lets the plan evolve as progress is made or needs change.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the time spent traveling to appointments. Licensed professionals can use video or phone to teach skills, coach through exercises, and support people handling caregiver stress or major life changes.
