About Perry
Perry Bagley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people find more freedom, clarity, and connection in their lives. He aims to help clients make sense of stressful or overwhelming moments so they can respond with intention rather than habit. Perry often works with men and others facing struggles around relationships, purpose, and self-worth.
Perry emphasizes creating space between a person and the problems they face. He encourages noticing thoughts and feelings as they come up, without judgment. That approach helps people step out of automatic reactions and make choices that match their values.
In sessions he teaches ways to stay present during conflict and stress. He helps people let go of unhelpful thought patterns and strong emotions that keep them stuck. This often involves building small, practical skills to handle everyday pressure.
Perry draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape sessions. His style is described as calm, compassionate, and collaborative. He aims to provide an environment where people can safely talk through what is weighing them down.
Over an 18-year career he has supported people with concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, parenting and fatherhood issues, relationship problems, midlife questions, and men’s issues. He practices in North Carolina as an LMFT and helps people work toward clearer values and more authentic living.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Perry uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside a client-centered attitude. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them and then committing to actions that align with personal values; it can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experiences, offering a respectful, listening approach that helps people feel heard and understood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Perry collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He will talk with the client about what feels most useful and adjust strategies as the work progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking because this profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use approaches like ACT and CBT with worksheets, skill-building, and values-based planning in a way that fits daily life.
