How Perry Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values-based action so clients can take small steps toward what matters even when emotions are intense. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and self-regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Perry will discuss options and tailor methods to each person's goals and preferences. He takes a collaborative stance and checks in regularly to adjust techniques as needs evolve.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten check-ins, and let people join from different locations. Therapists generally aim to use approaches that translate well to remote work, such as skill coaching and guided exercises, while keeping the focus on practical change and better day-to-day coping.
