Leanne Perales, LMFT

Leanne Perales is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Oklahoma. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and life transitions. Her work also addresses parenting concerns, intimacy and self-esteem struggles, and issues related to trauma and compassion fatigue.

Leanne favors a client-centered approach that keeps the person's goals in view. She uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. In sessions she emphasizes clear communication and collaborative goal-setting so clients leave with practical next steps.

Her background includes five years of clinical experience working with adults, couples, children, and families on a wide range of concerns. That experience informs a flexible style that adapts to each person’s situation and pace. Sessions typically focus on what matters most to the client and on small, achievable changes.

Leanne aims to make the room feel calming and nonjudgmental so people can talk openly. She helps clients identify values, cope with painful memories, and build better ways of relating to others. Treatment plans are shaped by client priorities and reevaluated over time.

For those balancing work, family, and health needs, she brings attention to realistic strategies for daily life. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes and works with clients to strengthen communication, manage emotions, and reduce ongoing stress.

How Leanne’s approaches fit with online work

Leanne draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult feelings. She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect current stress and conflict.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences with each person and suggest methods that match current needs. That collaborative conversation helps shape a plan that can change as progress is made.

Confirm session formats before booking so you know how appointments will be scheduled. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy around work, family, and daily responsibilities. Online meetings can make it easier to keep regular appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions are simpler to attend.
