About Dylan
Dylan Perese is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and coping with major life changes. Dylan aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can bring their whole experience, including spiritual or intuitive concerns.
Dylan blends practical therapy methods with attention to a person's spiritual life when that matters to them. Sessions often include talking through present problems, learning simple skills, and using journaling between meetings to track changes and insights.
How Dylan works
He uses plain language and small, concrete steps so people can try tools outside the session. When anxiety or mood concerns feel overwhelming, Dylan helps people identify patterns that keep problems going and develop new ways of responding. For relationship or communication problems he focuses on clearer expression and rebuilding trust through specific strategies.
For grief and end-of-life concerns he offers steady support and help naming what matters most. Dylan describes his style as warm and nonjudgmental. He encourages curiosity and self-compassion while also teaching skills to manage difficult emotions.
People who bring spiritual or existential questions will find room to explore them alongside evidence-based techniques. He has three years of clinical experience as an LMFT and combines approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to fit each person's needs.

Online support options
Online therapy options and therapeutic approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take action based on personal values; it can help with anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, accepting space so the client can lead their own process and build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dylan will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest an approach or mix of approaches to try. Sessions can shift over time as needs change so clients can experiment and find what fits best.
Online work is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone calls can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection and brief contact between meetings. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, quieter surroundings, and continued access when in-person visits are difficult.
