Dylan Perese is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and self esteem. He frames therapy to include both psychological care and a person’s spiritual or intuitive experiences. Sessions aim to be gentle and nonjudgmental so people can bring what matters most to them.
Dylan combines practical skills with time to reflect. He uses exercises and conversations to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping. Journaling between sessions is often suggested to track insights and keep progress moving forward.
People come for help after a breakup, during major life changes, or when grief and guilt feel heavy. He also supports those dealing with communication problems, infidelity, hospice and end-of-life issues, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. Mood concerns and questions about life purpose are also common topics he addresses.
His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and elements of the Gottman Method. That mix lets him tailor sessions to what each person needs in the moment. He listens for values, strengths, and practical steps clients can try between meetings.
Dylan has three years of clinical experience and practices in California. He works with people from any belief system and speaks English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the site's intake process.
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions that align with those values. It can help when anxiety, low mood, or unclear direction are getting in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for stress, mood problems, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on your experience and pace, with the therapist offering reflective listening and support while you make choices about next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dylan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful, adjusting over time based on goals and what actually helps in day-to-day life.
