About Perry
Perry Martin is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Texas. He focuses on practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns.
Background and approach
Perry aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk through what matters most to them. Perry uses tools from the Gottman Method alongside cognitive and acceptance-based approaches.
He helps people learn clear communication habits, handle conflict with less heat, and rebuild trust after painful experiences. Sessions emphasize small changes that add up over time.
His work also addresses trauma, attachment wounds, and challenges that come from adoption, foster care, or family-of-origin issues. He supports people coping with caregiver stress, blended family questions, and the emotional aftermath of separation or domestic violence.
Practical skill building is central to his approach. Perry draws on client-centered principles to keep the work grounded in each person’s values and goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are used to spot unhelpful thinking and to build actions that match what matters most. Dialectical skills are available for intense emotional ups and downs.
With four years of experience as an LMFT, Perry blends straightforward coaching with therapeutic work. He works with people on career pressures, self-esteem, body image, and managing major life changes.
The focus is on tangible steps that help people feel more in charge day to day.
Therapeutic approaches online and what they do
Gottman-informed work focuses on clear communication habits and problem-solving skills. It is useful when people want to reduce repeated arguments and improve day-to-day interactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and build actions that match those values, which can ease avoidance and stuckness. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space to make changes at a comfortable pace.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Perry will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can shift over time as needs change and progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people read body language and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or get short coaching-style support. These options let people fit therapy into busy days and maintain continuity during life transitions.
