Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Perry Malzahn



Perry uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that reinforce them, then build practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. She also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness for those struggling with intense emotions or relationship conflicts. For clients who have experienced significant trauma, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is offered as a trauma-focused intervention to process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing impact.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Perry works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and clinical needs, and she adapts methods over time so the work fits the client rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Perry is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and geographic limitations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions during life transitions, and access licensed professionals without travel barriers.
