About Perry
Perry Martin is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship struggles. He works with individuals to sort through intense emotions and find practical ways to cope. Perry uses straightforward language and a calm, focused style in sessions.
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to support emotion regulation and clearer communication. These approaches guide how he plans sessions and sets goals with each person.
Perry has four years of clinical experience as an LMFT in Texas. That background includes helping people manage trauma and abuse responses, caregiver stress, and complicated grief. He emphasizes tools that can be used between sessions, such as simple behavioral experiments and emotion skills practice.
In sessions he addresses issues like abandonment, attachment, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family dynamics, body image, and career stress. He also helps people navigate divorce and separation, domestic violence aftermath, and family of origin problems. Perry frames challenges as problems to solve together rather than labels to carry.
He asks about each person’s goals early in the work and adapts methods to fit what matters most to them. People who meet with him can expect clear feedback, practical strategies, and an emphasis on building everyday habits that support long-term wellbeing.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and take action even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It suits grief, anxiety, and meaning-focused work by turning values into small practical steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood through clearer routines and behavior changes.These approaches are used collaboratively. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then shape sessions that fit those needs. Finding the best approach is part of the process, and methods can be adjusted as progress and priorities change.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, skip travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. It also allows people to try different ways of working, like focusing on skills practice one week and values-based planning the next, so therapy fits everyday life rather than the other way around.
