About Perry

Perry Martin is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Texas with four years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship concerns, and family and parenting-related issues. He works with adults who are coping with big life changes and everyday pressures at home and work.

Perry keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens for what matters most and helps people build clearer communication and better coping skills. Conversations often cover boundaries, emotion regulation, and how past family patterns affect current relationships.

His approach draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. That means he mixes practical skill-building with chances to notice values and what matters most in relationships. Many sessions include short exercises and homework to try between meetings.

Perry also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered work to help manage strong emotions and to make space for personal goals. He pays attention to issues like attachment, abandonment, blended family stress, and caregiver strain when those topics come up.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow the therapist-client steps of matching goals and approaches. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Perry uses evidence-based approaches in online work

Perry uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action that matches what matters most. ACT often focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT provides clear, task-oriented strategies such as behavioral experiments and simple homework to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Perry will discuss your goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods that fit your situation. He adjusts plans as you learn what helps and what does not.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes practicing skills in real-life settings more convenient. If you prefer a particular way of meeting, check the available session options when you schedule.
