About Perry
Perry Martin is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Texas with four years of clinical experience. He focuses on concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family struggles, and life transitions that often surface in early adulthood. Perry works with people who are dealing with stress around work, school, identity, and intimate relationships.
Perry uses several evidence-informed methods to help people sort out what matters to them and how to act on it. He draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work. Sessions often include checking what’s happening now, noticing patterns, and practicing small changes between meetings.
He pays attention to common pressures young adults face: moving out, starting a job, feeling behind on milestones, and relationship shifts. Perry talks through practical steps for handling work stress, career uncertainty, or problems with communication and intimacy. He also addresses issues tied to family of origin, adoption and foster care, and blended family dynamics.
Perry works with people coping with trauma, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and complex situations like domestic violence or caregiver stress. He helps clients build skills for emotional regulation and clearer communication. Therapy may include behavioral experiments, values clarification, and emotion-focused exercises.
Sessions are conducted in English and Perry practices in Texas as an LMFT. He does not work with international clients. To begin, users follow the site’s matching steps and schedule a first appointment after completing a short questionnaire.
How Perry’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take actions that matter to them despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and the uncertainty that comes with early adult transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors; it is practical for stress, anxiety, and depression and usually involves short exercises and homework between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on recognizing and working with emotions to improve relationships and intimacy, which can help with communication and attachment concerns.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Perry will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most. The process is intended to be a shared exploration rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
The exact session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time around school or work. It also supports practicing skills between sessions in real life, such as testing a new conversation style or handling a stressful work moment, which many clients find helpful.
