About Perla

Perla Campos Ruiz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who offers clear, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She writes and talks in a direct way so people can focus on practical changes. Perla has seven years of clinical experience and centers conversations on what a person is living through today.

Perla began working in 2017 and has helped individuals from different settings, including hospitals and correctional health care. She has provided care for victims of crime and survivors of domestic violence, and she has experience with cases connected to the Department of Children and Family Services. That work has included supporting people dealing with grief, PTSD, substance use concerns, and major mood difficulties.

In sessions she creates a listening space where people can tell their story without judgment. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current feelings and choices. From that place, she helps people identify coping skills they can use day to day.

Perla also supports those facing parenting stress, relationship and family problems, trouble sleeping, anger, career strain, and questions about purpose and self-worth. She addresses feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and topics common to women's lives.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. Perla works with clients to build realistic habits and small skills that fit into daily life. She aims to make the process feel manageable for people who may be nervous about starting therapy.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Perla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps people can use between sessions. One approach emphasizes learning coping skills for anxiety and depression by identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing small behavioral changes to break them. Another approach centers on processing grief and loss through guided conversation and structured tasks that help people make meaning and move forward.

Choosing the right method is a team effort. Perla works with each person to figure out which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the approach over time based on how a person responds, and she explains the reasons for those changes so clients stay involved in planning their care.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life - it reduces commute time, can allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and can help keep regular momentum between sessions. Perla will help plan appointments that fit your schedule and daily routines.
