About Perla
Perla Campos Ruiz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She brings seven years of clinical experience working with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and life transitions. Parents worried about attention differences will find ADHD listed among her focus areas.
She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and aims to help people feel heard and understood. Perla has provided individual therapy in hospitals, correctional health care settings, and with survivors of crime and domestic violence.
Background and approach
She has worked with cases connected to the Department of Children and Family Services and with people coping with substance use challenges. That range of settings shaped a practical approach to everyday problems. In sessions she helps clients see how past experiences shape current feelings and choices.
She emphasizes learning healthy coping skills that can be used day to day. Perla aims to make therapy feel straightforward and manageable rather than overwhelming. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs.
Sessions focus on skills, small steps, and realistic goals rather than jargon. Parents and individuals who are juggling stress, work, or caretaking responsibilities often appreciate this practical focus. Perla offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
She conducts therapy in English and works with adults and other individuals who need support with relationships, parenting concerns, career stress, self-esteem, or ADHD-related struggles.
Approaches that fit into busy lives online
Perla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill building and practical problem solving. One approach emphasizes understanding how life experiences shape current feelings and choices, helping clients break down patterns and try new behaviors step by step. Another common focus is teaching coping skills for anxiety, mood, and stress, such as breathing or grounding strategies and routines that support sleep and emotional regulation.Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Perla works collaboratively to identify which techniques match a person’s goals and preferences, and she adjusts the approach as progress is made. Clients and therapist decide together which methods feel most helpful.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed, phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options help people keep momentum, try new skills in real life, and stay connected to a licensed professional without changing routine.
