About Perry

Perry Martin is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Texas with four years of experience. He focuses on people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns. Perry also lists blended family issues among his areas of focus and works with adults facing life changes and career stress.

Perry uses straightforward, evidence-based methods to help people cope and make practical changes. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address thoughts, emotions, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. Sessions emphasize clear steps and skills rather than abstract theory.

Clients can expect conversations about communication, boundaries, and handling loyalty conflicts that come with new household arrangements. Perry works on concrete tools for managing anger, improving self-esteem, and reducing avoidance. He aims to help people sort through attachment questions, abandonment concerns, and integration of parenting roles when households change.

Work often includes short exercises, behavior experiments, and practice between sessions. Perry also addresses career stress, caregiver burden, and the ripple effects of past family-of-origin issues on current relationships. He frames therapy as a collaborative problem-solving process.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow the LMFT scope of practice in Texas. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first appointment is scheduled.

How Perry adapts ACT and CBT for online work

Perry commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his sessions. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters most to them, then take small steps toward those values. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression.

He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to look at emotional responses in relationships and improve how people express needs. These approaches are presented in plain exercises and short practices clients can try between meetings. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Perry will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before to find the best fit together.

Confirm the specific online session options before you book since the biography does not list exact formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not possible, and reduce travel time for appointments. It also lets people practice new skills where they live and bring real-life situations into conversations with the therapist.
