Misty Weiser

Misty Weiser is an LCSW and CSW practicing in Oregon who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, sleep problems, and depression. She approaches each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on small steps that build toward clearer days. Misty aims to offer steady support while people find what works for them.

Her background includes four years of professional experience and licensure in Colorado and Oregon. She uses a mix of approaches in sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Misty emphasizes practical strategies people can use between meetings, such as behavioral experiments, values-based actions, and grounding skills.

Misty also values ways to make therapy feel more connected. She is an advocate of animal-assisted approaches and has used therapy dogs in practice. She often explains trauma and memory through polyvagal theory to help people understand nervous system responses in everyday terms.

Sessions tend to focus on clear, usable tools for coping with panic, chronic pain, sleep disruption, and grief. Misty encourages questions and aims for honest, down-to-earth conversation about what helps and what doesn’t. She works collaboratively to adjust plans as people try new strategies.

People who prefer a conversational, strengths-focused style may find her approach a good fit. Misty invites potential clients to consider small, manageable steps toward improved mood, sleep, and daily functioning.
