About Dylan
Dylan Perese is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. He offers a calm, accepting presence and listens for what matters most to each person seeking support.
Background and approach
Dylan blends practical therapy methods with room to talk about spiritual beliefs and personal meaning. He encourages short exercises between sessions like journaling to help people notice patterns and build on small gains.
Sessions are focused and conversational, with an emphasis on clear steps people can try between meetings. His work draws on several approaches including the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered therapy to match the needs of the person in front of him.
That mix lets him work on thoughts, behaviors, and the way people relate to themselves and others. He also uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when they fit the goals.
People who come for grief or end-of-life concerns can expect gentle pacing and attention to meaning and legacy. Those dealing with relationship strain may practice communication skills and learn ways to reduce recurring conflict.
For anxiety and mood concerns, sessions often include concrete coping skills and short experiments to test new ways of responding. Dylan practices in California and works with adults in English.
He has three years of clinical experience as an LMFT and structures therapy around each person’s values and life circumstances.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Gottman Method work focuses on communication and interaction patterns that build trust and reduce repeated fights; it is useful for people wanting clearer ways to talk and repair conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values while reducing the power of unhelpful thoughts. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the client's lead to promote self-understanding and growth.Dylan treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He will discuss different methods, try specific techniques together, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful for the client's goals and preferences. The aim is to combine skills work with attention to meaning so the person can make steady, practical changes.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for a full session with visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text let people check in between sessions, reflect in writing, or fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel while working with licensed professionals.
