About Misty

Misty Weiser is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Colorado and Oregon with 4 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, and depression. Misty writes plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can take to feel more steady in daily life.

She emphasizes the client’s own strengths and perspective. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on small, manageable skills to try between meetings. Misty often explains trauma and memory using Polyvagal Theory to make reactions easier to understand.

Misty uses several established approaches in her work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where clients decide which tools feel useful and which do not. Conversation about methods and adjustments is part of regular sessions.

She has a long history of involving therapy dogs in practice and mentions two dogs, Lily and Maggie, as part of her background. That experience informs how she thinks about comfort and connection in sessions. Misty also values clear explanations and invites questions about how different methods work.

People who want straightforward talk and practical skills often find this approach useful. Misty encourages realistic goals and step-by-step progress rather than big leaps. If a calmer routine and better sleep are priorities, she focuses on strategies that fit everyday life.

BHow sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches apply to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that fit their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and finding direction when life feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, and sleep trouble. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distressing memories and strong reactions by pairing memory processing techniques with guided procedures; it is often used for trauma and post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and how different methods feel in practice. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which tools to try and when to adjust the plan based on what helps.

This biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, keep regular check-ins during work breaks, and avoid travel time. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions, such as ACT and CBT skills work, and certain EMDR protocols can be adapted for distance. Discuss practical needs and scheduling when you set up the first appointment so sessions match daily life.
