Perry Martin, LMFT

Perry Martin is a licensed marriage and family therapist who uses clear, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. He aims to make therapy straightforward and focused on concrete steps. Perry offers a calm presence and direct guidance for people facing hard life changes.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice painful feelings without getting stuck. Client-Centered techniques shape sessions so the person’s goals guide the work.

Perry has four years of clinical experience in Texas and meets people where they are. He helps with relationship strain, intimacy-related concerns, anger, self-esteem, grief, career questions, and coping after loss or disruption. He also addresses issues tied to adoption and foster care, attachment and family of origin dynamics, blended family stress, and caregiver burden.

In session he prioritizes practical skills alongside emotional understanding. People can expect to practice coping tools, improve communication patterns, and set small, achievable goals between meetings. The focus is on what will make daily life easier.

Perry works with people who want clear, usable strategies and space to process difficult emotions. He combines skill practice with thoughtful reflection so clients can move forward at their own pace.

How CBT and ACT translate to online care

Perry commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that increase stress and then try new actions that change how they feel. CBT sessions online often include practical homework and brief skill-building exercises that can be reviewed between meetings.

He also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful actions. ACT techniques taught online can help with coping during life transitions, grief, and ongoing anxiety by practicing values-based steps in everyday settings.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. Perry will work with each person to pick strategies that match their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time based on what helps most. That collaborative process begins in the first session and continues as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their daily life. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, chat can support brief check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, caregiving schedules, or other obligations.
