About Whitany
Whitany Perry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She brings a calm, direct approach to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She listens first and helps clients set clear, doable goals.
Sessions often include skill practice for handling panic, coping with grief, and managing caregiver stress. She also supports people facing depression, post-traumatic stress, codependency concerns, and identity-related stress for LGBT clients.
Background and approach
Whitany draws on ten years of experience in behavioral health and child welfare settings. That background informs her work with people navigating end-of-life concerns, hospice and bereavement, and the emotional strain of caregiving. She uses common therapeutic tools rather than jargon to keep conversations straightforward.
Her style blends Client-Centered Therapy with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when these fit someone’s goals. The result is a flexible mix of listening, teaching skills, and helping people take small steps toward change.
Sessions are offered from Mississippi in English and are delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The process starts by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then focus on small actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, life changes, and situations that feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce panic, manage worry, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can help with intense emotions and panic episodes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she and the client choose techniques to try and adjust them over time based on what works. This makes the process collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video works well for teaching skills that benefit from demonstration, while phone calls can use less bandwidth and feel simpler. Chat and text are useful for short check-ins, tracking progress, or practicing new tools between sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments and to fit care into busy lives.
