About Perla

Perla Campos Ruiz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people build coping skills and clearer perspectives. She brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence to sessions and aims to make therapy feel manageable and direct. Perla emphasizes listening first and creating space for people to tell their stories.

Perla has worked in clinical settings since 2017 and has seven years of experience. Her background includes individual therapy in hospitals and correctional health care, and supporting people affected by crime and domestic violence. She has also worked with cases involving the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS).

In sessions she helps people identify how life events shape feelings and choices. She focuses on practical coping strategies that can be used day to day. Perla helps people address stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleeping problems, anger, and issues around self-esteem and life purpose.

Perla also offers support related to parenting, family problems, career concerns, ADHD, and women’s issues. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the therapist and client work together to find what helps. Her approach is straightforward and centered on real-world change.

People can expect clear guidance and an emphasis on building healthier habits and self-care. Perla works in California and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a time to meet.

How evidence-based techniques guide online work

Perla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practical steps. One common approach she employs helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and stress by breaking problems into smaller, manageable parts and practicing new responses. Another approach centers on processing grief and loss through guided conversation and routines that support sleep and daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Perla works with each person to figure out which methods match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. She adjusts plans as people try different strategies and report what helps most.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or caregiving schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. Others appreciate being able to meet from a familiar setting when they need consistent care. The therapist will discuss how to structure sessions so they work with your calendar and communication needs.
