Leanne Perales , LMFT

Leanne Perales is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Oklahoma who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and grief. She supports individuals dealing with parenting pressures, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Leanne approaches each client with respect and straightforward communication to set clear, personal goals.

Leanne favors a collaborative style. She encourages clients to name what matters most and then builds steps to get there. Sessions are conversational and practical, with space to process emotions and plan real changes. The tone is calm and nonjudgmental.

Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centered practice, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Those approaches guide how she helps people cope with difficult feelings, improve relationships, and reconnect with their values. Leanne explains concepts plainly so clients can use them between sessions.

With five years of clinical experience, she has helped people navigate grief, parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, and issues related to identity and intimacy. She also addresses concerns like attachment wounds, blended family dynamics, body image, and caregiver stress. Treatment focuses on the present needs the client brings to sessions.

Leanne offers several ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She works in English and practices in Oklahoma. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them drive behavior, so they can act toward valued goals. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past bonds affect current relationships and helps people build safer, more connected patterns with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and discuss which methods seem most useful. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and body language, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text sessions are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing practice, or when writing out thoughts feels clearer. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving schedules.
