About Dylan

Dylan Perese is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions. He offers a calm, accepting presence and makes room for both practical problem solving and deeper personal meaning. Dylan blends several evidence-informed approaches to match each person's needs.

He uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice unhelpful thinking patterns. He draws on the Gottman Method to address communication and interaction habits that strain relationships.

Background and approach

He also incorporates acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness strategies to help people tolerate difficult feelings while moving toward values-based choices. Sessions tend to be conversational and focused on concrete shifts you can try between meetings. Dylan encourages simple practices like journaling to track progress, notice patterns, and integrate insights over time.

He aims to make therapy feel relevant to everyday life rather than abstract or overly clinical. People who value spirituality or want to include their spiritual beliefs in therapy will find space for that here. Dylan describes his approach as spiritually integrated when requested, so those aspects are respected alongside psychological work.

With three years of clinical experience, Dylan brings a steady, empathetic style to sessions. He works with people from a wide range of belief systems and communicates in English while practicing in California.

Online support

How Dylan blends proven approaches for online care

Gottman Method work focuses on how people interact day to day. It looks at communication patterns, repair attempts, and shared routines to reduce conflict and increase connection. This approach can help when conversations repeatedly lead to misunderstanding or distance.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills for accepting difficult emotions while clarifying what matters most. It helps people move toward valued actions even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client's own goals and pace guide the work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dylan will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit those priorities. He often mixes strategies so sessions match what is most helpful in the moment.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility in how people connect. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins and ongoing tracking between meetings. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and use the format that best supports their goals.
