About Perry Bagley

Perry Bagley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps individuals, couples, and families find greater clarity, connection, and ease in everyday life. He guides people in creating space between themselves and the challenges they face so problems feel less overwhelming and more manageable. LMFT stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a credential that signifies training in relational and individual care.

Perry emphasizes shifting how people relate to their inner experience rather than trying to control outside circumstances. He works with clients to notice thoughts, emotions, and habitual patterns as they arise, encouraging awareness without judgment so responses come from choice instead of reactivity. That approach supports building the capacity to stay grounded during stress or conflict and to let go of unhelpful thinking and emotional entanglement.

In session, Perry fosters openness, acceptance, and curiosity as alternatives to resistance and fear, and he helps clients connect action to their values to strengthen resilience. His manner is calm, compassionate, and collaborative, and he creates a nonjudgmental space for people to explore what weighs them down. From that foundation, individuals and relationships can reconnect, grow, and move toward more authentic and fulfilling ways of living.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support



Perry draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide work in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and focuses on taking action that aligns with personal values - it can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic, nonjudgmental listening and supports people in finding their own solutions, which is especially useful for relationship struggles, self-esteem, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to difficulties like depression, anxiety, and anger.

Perry approaches treatment collaboratively - he will work with each person to identify goals and try approaches that fit their needs and preferences. Finding the right method is part of the process, and adjustments are made together as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Perry can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapists and licensed professionals without needing to travel, which can help therapy fit into everyday life.
