Perry Martin, LMFT

Perry Martin is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in Texas who centers his work on practical, evidence-informed approaches. He helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. He also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, stress, grief, and career questions.

In session he focuses on what feels most pressing and useful. He listens first, then offers tools drawn from several therapies to help people manage emotions and take small steps forward. Sessions emphasize clearer communication, setting boundaries, and building everyday coping skills.

Perry uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and emotion-focused work to help people understand patterns and try new responses. He also draws on client-centered and dialectical behavior approaches when a gentler or skills-based path fits better.

People contact him for a wide range of situations such as attachment wounds, blended family tensions, caregiver stress, body image struggles, and the fallout from divorce or domestic violence. He pays attention to how past family relationships shape current behavior and helps people make changes that feel realistic and sustainable.

With four years of clinical experience, Perry aims to keep therapy straightforward and collaborative. He works in English and practices in Texas. To begin, clients use the site’s continue button on this profile to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to his availability.

How therapy methods translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take actions that match those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and feelings of emptiness by focusing on small, meaningful steps rather than only trying to change thoughts.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It includes practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for stress, worry, and mood challenges.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports people in identifying and naming emotions and improving how they express needs. That approach can help with intimacy-related struggles and patterns that come from earlier attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Perry will help clients choose or combine methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. He takes a collaborative stance and adjusts techniques as people try things and report back what helps.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. Licensed professionals often use these benefits to keep therapy practical and accessible while focusing on real-world changes.
