About Dylan
Dylan Perese is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with three years of clinical experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes, including concerns around guilt and shame.
Dylan welcomes discussion of spiritual beliefs and experiences alongside psychological concerns. He frames sessions so clients can talk about faith, intuitive experiences, or questions of meaning without those topics being set aside. Journaling between sessions is encouraged to help track patterns and reflect on insights.
In session he blends practical, evidence-based techniques with space to explore personal meaning. He uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods to help people notice thoughts and try different responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the Gottman Method also inform his work with emotion regulation and relationship communication.
Conversations are straightforward and paced to what the client needs. Dylan offers ways to practice new skills between sessions and checks in on how those changes land in daily life. He aims for clear, usable steps rather than abstract theory.
He works in English and sees people in California. People who want to start complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking path. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How therapy approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and returning to chosen values. It helps when guilt or shame leads to avoidance and people want clearer direction on what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides hands-on tools for changing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. The Gottman Method supports practical communication and conflict skills for people dealing with relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing how they land in everyday life, and adjusting the plan together.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people bring journal notes or recent situations into the session for immediate discussion. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, or Gottman-based exercises to an online setting to keep the work practical and focused on daily life.
