About Perla

Perla Campos Ruiz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with seven years of clinical experience working in California. She offers a compassionate, client-centered approach that helps people explore how life events shape feelings and choices, and supports practical skill-building for everyday challenges.

Background and approach

Perla has worked with individuals across a range of settings including correctional health care, hospitals, and services for victims of crime and domestic violence, which informs her trauma-aware perspective. Her practice focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep problems, anger, and the challenges of coping with life changes.

She also brings experience addressing parenting struggles, family problems, career concerns, self-esteem and identity issues, and ADHD-related difficulties. Perla emphasizes accepting, nonjudgmental listening while helping clients develop healthier coping strategies and new ways to view their experiences.

Perla conducts sessions in English and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients identify goals and practical steps toward them. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to the therapist's availability.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Flexibility



Perla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding how life events shape emotions and decision-making. One common approach she relies on helps clients learn practical coping skills for stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and anger by teaching structured tools and behavioral strategies to manage symptoms and daily challenges. Another frequently used method centers on processing grief, trauma, and difficult life changes through paced exploration of memories and feelings, supporting restoration of functioning and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist works together with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Perla tailors methods over time, checking in and adjusting techniques so the plan fits the client’s needs and evolves with progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, and Perla provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support while balancing work, parenting, or other obligations, allowing clients to continue care without major disruptions.
