Dylan Perese , LMFT

Dylan Perese is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who practices a spiritually-integrated form of psychotherapy that honors both psychological needs and spiritual experience. He offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach that makes room for spiritual beliefs, intuitive experiences, and explorations of consciousness while addressing emotional and relational concerns.

Dylan supports people navigating grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and spiritual emergence, creating a gentle space where personal meaning and mental health are explored together. He combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with open curiosity about a client's spiritual life, helping individuals deepen self-awareness and make sense of inner experiences.

Between sessions, Dylan often encourages journaling as a practical tool for integration, reflection, and tracking progress. This practice is offered as a way to process insights, notice patterns, and stay connected to inner wisdom while working through change and loss.

He works with people across different belief systems, whether they identify as actively spiritual, are sensitive to energetic experiences, or are simply curious about larger questions of meaning. Dylan aims to meet each person where they are and to support growth in ways that respect both psychological well-being and spiritual values.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dylan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support emotional and relational growth. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action - it can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and creating an accepting space where clients lead the pace of exploration - it is useful for building self-esteem and processing grief. CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of mood disorders and improve coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Dylan works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions over time, combining strategies when appropriate so the treatment aligns with a client's values and circumstances.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit therapy into busy or changing schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, handle urgent issues between sessions, and access support from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who use approaches suited to each client's situation.
