About Perry
Perry Martin is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Texas. He helps people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. His style is straightforward and calm, focused on practical steps people can use between sessions.
Perry works with adults facing relationship strain, career stress, and big life changes. He also supports people dealing with intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, anger, and complicated family background issues.
Background and approach
He pays attention to circumstances like adoption, blended families, caregiver stress, and separation or divorce. In the therapy room he uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. That can include techniques from acceptance and commitment therapy to help with values and action, cognitive behavioral work to shift unhelpful thoughts, and emotion-focused methods for relationship concerns.
He aims to teach skills people can practice in daily life. Perry draws on four years of clinical experience and holds an LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. He emphasizes cultural responsiveness and a nonjudgmental tone when meeting someone for the first time.
Sessions combine listening with concrete tools - breathing and grounding techniques, thought records, communication exercises, and goal-setting. People often come for help with coping skills, clearer communication, and making steady progress through transitions. To start, he asks clients to identify goals and build small, manageable steps toward them.
That approach keeps therapy focused and practical while respecting each person’s pace and values.
Therapeutic approaches translated for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to someone and taking small actions that reflect those values. It helps people manage anxiety and stress by changing their relationship to thoughts and feelings rather than trying to eliminate them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change them. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and building coping skills for day-to-day stress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and change emotional responses in relationships. It can be helpful when intimacy, communication, or attachment concerns are a main issue.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, strengths, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what works, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets for face-to-face conversation and focused exercises, phone can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth needs, and chat or messaging supports short updates or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people attend sessions around work, family responsibilities, or travel.
