About Misty

Misty Perry is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. She brings four years of clinical experience helping people manage stress and anxiety and work through life changes. She approaches sessions with respect for each person's knowledge of their own life. Her work centers on practical, short-term skills and deeper personal values. She uses evidence-informed methods to help people notice what matters most, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and build coping tools that fit daily routines. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps that add up over time. Misty emphasizes collaboration. She listens first, then helps clients choose strategies that match their goals. That could mean practicing new ways to respond to panic, trying communication techniques for relationship strain, or exploring values when facing a midlife shift. She also supports people dealing with grief, self-esteem concerns, caregiver stress, and women's issues. Misty uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to shape sessions around what each person needs. Starting therapy with her begins with acknowledging how hard the first step can be. Misty aims to make subsequent sessions clear and focused, so people leave with specific tools to try between meetings. Her California license is listed as LMFT.

How therapy approaches adapt to online work

Misty uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. ACT helps people clarify personal values and take small steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and it can be useful for anxiety, panic, and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Misty collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. This collaborative decision making helps ensure sessions feel relevant and practical.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people work with a therapist from their current location. The specific session formats available should be confirmed before booking, and the therapist will help identify which session style best supports the client’s needs.
