About Misty

LMFT (California), 4 years' experience. Misty Perry helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with adults facing life changes and common struggles such as caregiver strain, communication problems, panic attacks, social anxiety, midlife concerns, and women's issues.

Misty uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her sessions. She approaches work as a collaboration, listening to each person’s story and building on their strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills people can try between meetings.

In practice she helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. She offers clear strategies for managing anxious thoughts, reducing panic symptoms, and improving communication. Conversations are straightforward and focused on concrete goals.

Misty emphasizes building coping skills for everyday life. For caregivers she addresses stress and role strain. For people facing grief or midlife transitions she works on acceptance, values, and practical routines that support functioning.

She is licensed as an LMFT in California. Sessions are conducted in English. The first contact involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the platform's online flow.

How her approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values. In practice this means noticing unhelpful thoughts and committing to small, practical steps toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress and practicing new skills to reduce symptoms. CBT techniques are often used to target anxiety, panic symptoms, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying techniques from ACT, CBT, or DBT skills and adjusting the plan as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing appointments during breaks or from another location. They also support shorter check-ins or skill practice between in-person-type visits, which can help people maintain momentum while addressing stress, anxiety, communication, and caregiver concerns.
