Whitany Perry, LCSW

Whitany Perry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, codependency, and challenges related to end-of-life care.

Perry keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps people set small, doable goals. Conversations focus on everyday steps that make life easier. The tone is warm and direct, not clinical or rushed.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with acceptance-based and client-centered methods. She uses tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotions feel overwhelming. Motivational Interviewing techniques help people find their own reasons to change.

With ten years in behavioral health, Perry has worked in settings that included mental health, juvenile justice, and child welfare. That background shaped her skill at assessment and at guiding people through big life transitions. She has experience with grief, hospice-related matters, and crisis assessment.

Sessions prioritize practical coping skills and clearer thinking. Clients often practice new habits between meetings and review what works. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and build sustainable routines for daily life.

Perry provides services from Mississippi and meets with people in English. She offers several online formats so sessions can fit into busy schedules. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.

How therapy approaches translate online

Whitany Perry uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different actions. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms over time.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which encourages people to accept difficult feelings while choosing actions that match their values. ACT can help when avoidance or uncertainty gets in the way of daily life.

Client-centered work is part of her style, too, meaning sessions are built around a person’s goals and perspectives. Conversations are collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for the client.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Perry will discuss options and adapt techniques to match a person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. This helps shape a plan that feels useful rather than overwhelming.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is useful for full conversations and skill demonstrations, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or texting are convenient for brief check-ins or when someone needs flexible timing. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and practice skills consistently.
