    About Misty

    Misty Weiser is an LCSW who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, sleep problems, and depression. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable. Misty affirms each person as the expert in their own life and builds on existing strengths to tackle what feels hard.

    She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches such as Motivational Interviewing to support change, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to explore values, and Client-Centered techniques to keep the conversation focused on each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are also part of her practice when they fit the goals people bring.

    Misty has four years of professional experience and holds LCSW and CSW credentials, with licensure in Colorado and Oregon. She values clear explanations and a collaborative tone so people understand what happens in sessions.

    She is an advocate for animal-assisted work and has used therapy dogs in practice for several years. Misty enjoys talking through options and tailoring ways of working that match someone’s life and priorities.

    Her approach is straightforward: listen first, identify small steps, and try tools that match what the person wants to change. She supports people as they test new strategies and notice what helps them feel steadier and more in control.

  2. Approaches that translate to online work

    Misty commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change by exploring values and readiness. This approach is conversational and works well when someone wants help deciding on next steps or staying motivated.

    She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values and making room for difficult thoughts while taking committed action. ACT can help when someone feels stuck by connecting choices to what matters most. Client-Centered Therapy is another influence, emphasizing an open, nonjudgmental conversation that centers the person’s experience.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Misty will listen to a person’s goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. The decision is shared and can be adjusted as progress is made.

    Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins or scheduled blocks that match work or family routines. They also let people meet with licensed professionals from different locations when appropriate.
