Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change them; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal relationships - it can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship struggles. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact.


Perry approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right therapeutic method is part of the process. She works with each person to consider their needs, goals, and personal preferences and tailors a care plan that may incorporate one or more approaches as appropriate.


Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for those with busy schedules, transportation barriers, or geographic limitations. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent care, adapt session structure to client needs, and maintain therapeutic momentum even when meeting in person is difficult. For many people, remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life while still working toward meaningful change.
