Therapeutic approaches and online support
Perry often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult thoughts and still take steps that reflect their values. That approach can be useful for anxiety, grief, and making changes when life feels stuck.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors that reduce symptoms. CBT techniques often include skill practice and small experiments to test different responses in everyday situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Perry will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time so the therapy fits how someone actually lives their life.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different rhythms and needs. Video sessions support face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good option when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Text or chat formats allow shorter check-ins, quick skill coaching, and on-the-go support between scheduled meetings.
