About Misty
Misty Weiser is an LCSW and CSW who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, and depression. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and encourages people to use their own strengths to move forward. Misty presents herself as a supportive guide for people ready to take a first step toward feeling better.
She uses straightforward conversations and practical tools in sessions. Misty leans on approaches such as cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based skills to help change unhelpful thoughts and develop healthier routines. She also brings techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when addressing intense emotions and trauma memories.
Misty values a people-centered style. Her client-centered perspective keeps the person’s goals at the center of planning and decision making. She explains ideas like Polyvagal Theory to make traumatic stress and memory easier to understand rather than more confusing.
Outside of talk work she is an advocate for animal-assisted interactions and has worked with therapy dogs for several years. That comfort-focused element can help some people settle into sessions and feel more at ease discussing hard topics.
Misty holds social work licenses in Colorado and Oregon and brings four years of professional experience to her practice. She works in English and does not take international clients at this time. If someone wants to explore sleep or trauma-related concerns, she offers a straightforward, conversational approach to getting started.
How her approaches work online
Misty uses several approaches to help people with sleep, trauma, and mood concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and habits that interfere with sleep and daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values.She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotions feel overwhelming and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing techniques when trauma memories need careful processing. Each approach is explained in clear language so clients understand what will happen in a session and why a given method might help.
Finding the right way of working is collaborative. Misty will talk with a person about goals, symptoms, and what feels manageable. Together they pick strategies and adjust plans as progress is made or needs change.
Confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example sessions can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoid the need to be on camera when that helps someone focus. Those practical benefits often make it simpler to keep a steady routine of sessions.
