About Misty
Misty Weiser is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with licenses in Colorado and Oregon and four years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, and depression. Misty also works with concerns such as chronic pain and illness, communication problems, isolation and loneliness, and questions about life purpose and midlife change.
She approaches sessions with the belief that clients are experts on their own stories and already have strengths to draw on. That perspective guides how she listens and offers practical tools. Misty uses a mix of methods to address symptoms and life disruption rather than a single fixed technique.
Her practice includes approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. She often discusses trauma through ideas from Polyvagal Theory to explain how the body and memory respond to stress.
Misty has used animal-assisted work for years and has two therapy dogs, Lily and Maggie, who are part of her practice history. She enjoys talking through different therapies and what might fit for each person.
People who come to her often want to figure out what matters next after a change in work, relationships, or health. She helps them talk through options, try practical skills, and notice what seems to help in everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports noticing thoughts and values, then choosing actions that matter despite hard feelings. It can help when someone feels directionless after a life change or struggles with ongoing anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that reinforce distress and then testing new ways of responding. It often helps with depression, panic, and sleep problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories by guiding attention while recalling events; people often use it for post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Misty will discuss options and try methods collaboratively based on the person’s goals and what feels workable. She adapts the mix of ACT, CBT, EMDR, DBT ideas, and client-centered listening to what helps a person manage stress and move toward clearer priorities.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. Talk with her about how a particular format might fit your routines, energy, and the practical needs of any trauma-focused work.
