About Perla
Perla Campos Ruiz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults and has provided services to people aged 4 and older since 2017. Her practice covers many concerns including stress, anxiety, parenting, self-esteem, depression, grief, sleep problems, anger, and ADHD.
Perla has worked in a range of settings. She has supported people impacted by crime and domestic violence and those with open Department of Children and Family Services cases. She has also provided care in correctional health and hospital environments, working with anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, and substance use issues.
In sessions she focuses on helping people notice how life experiences shape feelings and choices. She listens without judgment and offers different perspectives people can try out. The goal is to identify practical coping skills that fit day-to-day life.
Perla aims to make starting therapy easier. She acknowledges that sharing difficult material can feel scary and aims to keep the pace manageable. She works with clients to break problems into small steps and to build skills that reduce overwhelm.
Her background across court-related, hospital, and correctional settings informs a straightforward approach to practical problems. That experience feeds into helping people tackle family problems, career stress, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and issues common to women.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Perla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on helping people manage emotions and change unhelpful patterns. One common approach helps people recognize links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and then test small changes to reduce overwhelm and reactivity. Another approach involves skill-building for coping with stress, improving sleep, and addressing anger through practical strategies that can be practiced between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of working together. Perla will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and help pick methods that fit your situation. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts what she offers based on how you respond over time. Confirm the exact session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone choose a session type that suits their energy level. If you prefer, ask about how she structures online sessions, typical length, or how to prepare for a first appointment.Areas of focus
