Background and approach
Perry focuses on practical steps people can use right away. He also offers coaching for career and life transitions.
Perry draws from several proven approaches to guide sessions. He helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small actions that matter. His work pays attention to relationships and connection.
He addresses intimacy-related concerns, communication problems, and family of origin issues. Perry also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care, abandonment, divorce and separation, and blended family stress.
He works with people facing anger, low self-esteem, emptiness, and caregiver stress. Perry helps clients develop coping skills for natural or human-caused disasters and other sudden life changes.
He combines emotion-focused techniques with skills-based strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when needed. With four years of clinical experience, Perry aims for clear, collaborative sessions.
He explains tools in plain language and practices with patience. Sessions focus on immediate next steps and long-term growth.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Online ACT focuses on noticing painful thoughts without getting stuck and committing to actions that fit a person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; online CBT typically involves identifying patterns, practicing new skills, and tracking progress between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Perry will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That might mean starting with skill-building, shifting to deeper emotion work, or combining approaches over time. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when a fuller conversation is helpful. Phone sessions can be a better fit when internet bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter, ongoing check-ins and help people practice strategies between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.Frequently asked questions
