About Misty

LCSW, CSW licensed in Colorado and Oregon with 4 years of clinical experience. Misty Weiser helps people address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, and depression. She works in English and practices from Oregon.

Misty frames the client as the expert in their own story. She focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Sessions tend to emphasize skills people can try between meetings and clear discussion about what feels most useful.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Misty explains trauma and memory using ideas from Polyvagal Theory and often mixes skills work with processing when it fits the person's needs.

She also pays attention to long-term health concerns. Chronic pain, illness, disability, and mood disorders are part of her focus. That includes panic, post-traumatic stress, and issues like isolation, guilt, or struggling with life purpose.

Misty mentions animal-assisted approaches and has worked with therapy dogs in practice. Conversations about methods and what to try next are part of how she works with people. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session to decide together what to focus on.

How her approaches translate to remote work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and finding direction when life feels uncertain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. CBT is often used for depression, panic, sleep problems, and mood regulation through concrete exercises and homework.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method for processing traumatic memories. When appropriate, it is used to reduce the intensity of distress linked to past events and to support recovery from post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Misty will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels doable. She treats choosing methods as a collaborative decision and adjusts plans based on how a person responds.

Confirm available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid being on camera if that helps someone engage. Licensed professionals can use these options to help people continue regular therapy while managing everyday demands.
