About Perry
LSCSW in Kansas with 15 years of clinical experience, Perry Malzahn focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, depression, parenting, grief, and ADHD. She uses several evidence-based approaches to help people who are facing major life changes and difficult emotional experiences. Perry works in English and practices in Kansas.
Perry draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking and develop practical skills for managing emotions. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past traumatic events are central to someone’s difficulties. Solution-Focused Therapy is used for concrete goal-setting and short-term change.
Her background includes work across a range of situations connected to trauma, grief, peripartum and postpartum challenges, infidelity, and relationship conflict. She has experience with issues around attachment, abandonment, blended families, and family of origin problems. She has also worked with people affected by military service.
Sessions emphasize clear, practical steps and collaborative planning. Perry helps people name what they want to change and then practices skills and strategies during sessions. She balances longer-term trauma work with solution-focused conversations when quicker changes are needed.

How Perry uses evidence-based approaches online
CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence. Online sessions using CBT focus on practical exercises, tracking patterns between sessions, and building step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills. Delivered session by session, DBT work can include practicing new coping strategies, role-playing communications, and building routines to manage strong emotions.
EMDR is an approach for processing memories linked to traumatic events. In an online setting this can involve guided processing, pacing work so it feels manageable, and pairing EMDR tasks with grounding or stabilization skills when needed.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Perry will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then recommend starting points. That plan can change as progress is tracked and needs shift, and the decision about which methods to use is collaborative.
The therapist's session formats are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, avoid travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt skills work, trauma processing, and solution-focused goals to a remote setting while coordinating follow-up between meetings.
