About Misty
Misty Weiser is an LCSW and CSW licensed in Colorado and Oregon with four years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping problems, and depression. Her practice also includes support for chronic pain and illness, communication struggles, feelings of isolation, life purpose concerns, and guilt and shame.
Misty describes clients as the experts on their own stories and focuses on building from those strengths. She often explains trauma and memory using polyvagal theory and talks through practical skills for managing overwhelming feelings. Conversations in session are direct and down-to-earth, with attention to what feels useful day-to-day.
Her approach draws from several evidence-based methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take actionable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. She also incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR for trauma-related work when appropriate.
Misty has a long history of working with animals in therapeutic settings and has used two therapy dogs, Lily and Maggie, in practice. She enjoys discussing different therapy ideas with clients and encourages curiosity about how approaches might fit each person.
Sessions are practical and collaborative, focused on skills people can use between meetings. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking and follow the site’s process to schedule a first appointment.
How Misty uses approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps when shame or guilt make it hard to move forward by focusing attention on meaningful steps rather than solely on uncomfortable feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress. In short online meetings CBT can be used to test new ways of thinking, set manageable behavioral experiments, and track progress between sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be part of trauma-focused work when memories remain vivid and disruptive. When used online, the therapist will discuss whether EMDR-style methods fit the client’s needs and explain what the sessions involve before beginning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Misty will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and current concerns. She will explain options and adjust the plan as sessions progress so clients know why certain techniques are being tried.
Confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking, as formats are set by the practice. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making scheduling around work or caregiving easier. These practical benefits can make it simpler to keep appointments and apply new skills between meetings.
