About Misty
Misty Perry is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with four years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, grief, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also pays attention to caregiver stress, communication problems, midlife crises, panic attacks, social anxiety, and women’s issues.
Misty works from the view that each person knows their own story. She helps people name what is most stressful and then takes practical steps to reduce that load. Sessions tend to focus on small changes that make daily life easier, such as clearer communication, routines that cut down overwhelm, or skills to manage panic and anxiety when it comes up.
She draws on a mix of approaches to suit different concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try experiments that change behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most to them and act in line with those values even when emotions are hard.
Misty also uses elements of Client-Centered Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support coping skills and emotion regulation. The focus is practical and stepwise, rather than purely theoretical. People are invited to try tools between sessions and review what works.
If someone is juggling caregiving, relationship strain, or a major life change, she offers steady, straightforward help aimed at improving everyday functioning. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can fit into life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take small actions that matter to them even when emotions are difficult. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes and focuses on doing what matters rather than eliminating feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people test unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavioral experiments, which can reduce panic attacks, social anxiety, and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there she suggests one or a blend of methods and adjusts the plan as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use techniques between meetings in the settings where problems actually happen. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements when you schedule your first session so sessions match daily life and goals.
