About Perry

Perry Martin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Texas with four years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, and other concerns such as grief, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and coping with life changes. Perry lists social anxiety and phobia among the topics he addresses.

Perry uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people manage symptoms and handle difficult situations. Sessions center on everyday problems like feeling watched, trouble speaking up, relationship conflict, and major life transitions. He works with people who want tools for handling anxiety, clearer communication, or steadier routines.

In sessions Perry draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s concerns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for managing intense emotions.

Perry pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, and adoption or foster care backgrounds. He also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, body image, control issues, and the effects of domestic violence.

People can expect clear, practical steps in sessions such as communication exercises, coping skills practice, and behavioral experiments they can try between meetings. His work includes coaching elements for career and life changes when that helps clients reach their goals.

How Perry uses therapeutic approaches in remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions based on values rather than staying stuck in worry. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and deciding what matters most when social situations feel hard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and situations where people want step-by-step tools to try between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s concerns and goals, with the therapist helping clarify what matters and supporting progress at a comfortable pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Perry will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That process can include trying a method for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

If you plan to use online care, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Asking about session length, whether video or phone is available, and how scheduling works can help fit therapy into daily life. Remote sessions can make it easier to attend during work breaks, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins without needing a long commute.
