Dylan Perese

Dylan Perese is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with three years of clinical experience. He lists stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem concerns, and coping with life changes among the main concerns he addresses. Dylan also notes work around communication problems, divorce and separation, and life purpose in his practice.

In sessions he blends several practical approaches. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and take small, value-driven steps. He also draws on Client-Centered methods to keep the conversation focused on the client’s perspective.

Dylan encourages concrete practices between meetings, such as journaling to track patterns, process insights, and reflect on changes. He frames these as tools to make progress between sessions rather than tests or homework for its own sake.

He describes attention to spiritual or intuitive experiences as part of his work when clients bring them up. That means there is room in conversation for beliefs and personal meaning alongside psychological approaches. He does not list any additional credentials beyond LMFT.

People often come to him feeling stuck after a life change, unsure about what matters next, or dealing with loss and relationship strain. Sessions aim to clarify what the client values and to practice small behavioral steps that fit daily life.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about what matters next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns that keep problems stuck and testing new behaviors to change how someone feels and functions.

Dylan treats the choice of method as a collaborative decision. He will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those aims. If something does not feel helpful, adjustments are made together rather than sticking to one plan.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a busy day and keeping continuity after major life changes. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to maintain short check-ins, use written exercises, and keep a regular schedule without travel, which helps integrate therapeutic practice into everyday life.
