About Dylan
Dylan Perese is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and big life changes. He brings a calm, respectful presence and makes room for clients' spiritual or intuitive experiences when relevant.
Dylan uses plain conversation, active listening, and practical tools in sessions. He encourages short exercises like journaling between meetings to help clients notice patterns and practice new responses. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and move at a comfortable pace.
His approach mixes several well-known methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and elements of the Gottman Method for relationship issues. Dylan blends these tools while also inviting discussion of spiritual beliefs if a client wants that included.
People reach out for help with communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life concerns, infidelity, finding life purpose, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. He aims to make sessions practical so clients can try small changes between meetings.
Dylan practices in California and works in English. He asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dylan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small action steps even when emotions are difficult, which can help people stuck by anxiety, grief, or big life changes. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and build different habits.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dylan will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins, use video for face-to-face conversation, or rely on phone for a quicker session when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits often help people maintain momentum and practice skills between meetings.
