She also draws on trauma-focused methods and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for people coping with past trauma or disturbing memories.
Background and approach
Her work often centers on everyday struggles such as communication problems, family conflict, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and attachment or abandonment worries. She also helps with fertility-related stress, peripartum and postpartum concerns, and the emotional impact of infidelity or betrayal.
Perry has experience supporting people who have faced military-related stresses and trauma, and she has worked with individuals navigating personality disorder symptoms and post-traumatic stress. Her background includes solution-focused strategies to set clear, achievable goals and build small, useful changes over time.
Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as well as in-person work tied to her Kansas practice. Perry describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person’s goals guide the work.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral changes. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, stress, and ADHD-related organization or routine challenges.EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, offers a way to process distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming. It is commonly used when past trauma or disturbing events continue to affect daily life.
Perry will work with clients to find the best approach for their goals and situation. That means discussing symptoms, life demands, and what a person hopes to change, then choosing methods together. The plan can shift as progress and needs evolve. Online formats make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are good for brief check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, or when writing out thoughts feels more manageable. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences.
