About Pamela
Pamela Peringer is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults to build psychological flexibility, increase resilience, and connect choices to personal values. Pamela emphasizes kindness and patience in sessions and invites clients to notice what matters most to them.
Pamela often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness exercises to help people take meaningful action. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when practical, and she values a client-centered, respectful relationship as the foundation for change. Sessions typically focus on developing coping skills that people can use outside therapy.
Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addictions, grief, trauma and parenting concerns. Pamela also supports work on attachment issues, communication problems, commitment and blended family challenges, and men's issues among other topics. She pays attention to family of origin patterns and life transitions that affect everyday functioning.
Pamela describes therapy as collaborative work. She encourages clients to explore values, use metaphors and try mindfulness tools to tap into their own strengths. The goal is clearer priorities, better self-compassion, and more satisfying relationships.
She practices in California and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people complete an intake questionnaire and schedule appointments based on availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values even when emotions are difficult. ACT often uses brief exercises and values-focused homework that fit well with remote sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and supports building new ways of relating; in conversation this can help with commitment, communication, and trust challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Pamela treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods seem most helpful for your goals. She invites clients to try ideas in session and then report back so adjustments can be made together.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options when you book. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is hard to arrange. It also supports working on mindfulness practices, values-based tasks, and behavioral experiments between meetings, helping people apply skills in daily life.
