About Perry
Perry Martin is a licensed marriage and family therapist who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. He keeps sessions focused and straightforward so parents and busy adults can get tools they can use between meetings. Perry holds an LMFT license in Texas and brings four years of clinical experience to his work.
In sessions he combines approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy.
Background and approach
That mix lets him teach skills for handling strong emotions, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and improving connection where it matters. He aims for clear steps and small experiments clients can try at home. Perry also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, and family-of-origin patterns.
He speaks plainly about coping with caregiving stress, career pressure, body image, and changes after loss or separation. The focus is on practical coping rather than labels. Therapy with him may include short skills practice, guided conversations, and problem-solving tailored to each person.
Sessions can center on reducing worry, managing anger, or rebuilding trust and intimacy. Perry works to make progress understandable and measurable so parents can see where things are improving. He offers sessions from Texas in English.
Options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.
Approach and Access for Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters most and take small committed actions toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations that require behavior change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques for changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It often helps with depression, worry, and coping with life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and reshaping emotional responses to improve connection and emotion regulation in personal relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to one method from the start.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and parents juggling many demands. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions provide a simpler option, and live chat or text messaging make it possible to work in short bursts or check in between sessions. These formats make it easier to practice skills in real life and get steady support without commuting.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
