About Misty
Misty Perry uses a collaborative, practical approach to help people facing stress and anxiety. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT, based in California and has four years of professional experience. Misty emphasizes strengths and small steps so change feels manageable for a busy life.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take action even when emotions are uncomfortable.
How Misty works
Client-centered methods keep sessions focused on each person's goals and lived experience. Misty works with concerns such as relationships, grief, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, communication problems, midlife transitions, panic attacks, social anxiety, and women's issues.
Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, not overly clinical. In a typical session Misty listens first, then helps set a clear focus for what to work on between meetings. She uses exercises, skill practice, and real-world tasks to build new habits and handle stressful moments more effectively.
Progress is tracked in concrete ways so people can see change. Starting therapy with Misty involves a short matching process and scheduling that fits the person's life. She offers multiple online formats to make it easier to attend sessions and keep momentum between meetings.

How ACT and CBT translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions focus on clarifying what matters to the person and building small, meaningful steps to move toward those values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. In remote CBT sessions, Misty uses structured exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and coping between meetings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what fits best for the person's needs and preferences. Clients and the therapist make decisions together about which strategies to keep or change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, and keeping momentum between longer sessions.
