Misty Perry

Misty Perry is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, and supports those facing relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She also works with caregiver stress and common concerns that often affect women. Misty centers sessions on each person's strengths and lived experience. She treats the client as the expert in their own story and helps them choose practical steps forward. Conversations are plain and goal-oriented, with attention to what feels doable in daily life. Her clinical approach draws on several well-known methods to fit different needs. Misty uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and take value-guided action. She also incorporates Client-Centered principles to create a respectful, responsive space for whatever comes up. Over four years of practice in California, Misty has supported people through panic attacks, social anxiety, midlife changes, and caregiver burnout. She helps people build coping skills, improve communication, and manage overwhelming emotions. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Misty aims to make that step manageable. She encourages clients to start with what feels most important and to move at a comfortable pace. The therapy process is collaborative and practical, focused on small changes that add up.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Misty uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy as part of her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them, then commit to actions that match their values. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and shaping the pace of work around their needs.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Misty will help identify which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses. Clients and therapist decide together what to try and when to shift focus.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins, or avoid being on camera when that feels better. Licensed professionals can use different methods online to teach coping skills, practice communication, and track progress over time.
