About Misty
Misty Perry is a licensed marriage and family therapist who centers sessions on the person's experience. She uses a client-centered approach that treats people as the expert in their own story and builds on their strengths. Misty aims to make first steps feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to begin therapy.
She brings four years of professional experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. Misty also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and common life transitions. Her work includes attention to caregiver stress, communication problems, midlife concerns, panic attacks, social anxiety, and issues many women face.
Misty draws on several practical therapies to match each person's needs. She uses acceptance and commitment strategies to help people clarify values and take small behavioral steps. Cognitive behavioral tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new responses. Dialectical behavior methods add skills for managing strong emotions when needed.
In sessions Misty focuses on listening, gentle reflection, and collaborative planning. She helps people set short-term goals and practice small changes between meetings. Progress is based on the person's priorities and what feels workable in daily life.
Misty practices in California and holds the LMFT credential, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Sessions are conducted in English. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to follow the platform steps to match and schedule with her.
