Leanne Perales, LMFT - Therapist in Oklahoma

About Leanne

Leanne Perales is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She aims to help parents and couples find clearer communication and more steady routines when life feels overwhelming. Her style is warm and direct, and she emphasizes teamwork between therapist and client to set practical goals that match family values.

She draws on several research-supported approaches to guide sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values.

Background and approach

Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports partners and family members in reconnecting and repairing attachment wounds. Client-Centered Therapy creates space for people to feel heard and to build confidence in their own choices. Leanne values transparency and open communication in the therapy room.

She works with parents and family members to reduce stress, handle grief, manage relationship and intimacy issues, and cope with life transitions. She also addresses trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and compassion fatigue when these affect family life. With five years of experience as an LMFT, she brings practical tools and empathy to sessions.

She aims to make changes that fit daily life instead of adding more pressure. Leanne practices in Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English. Her background includes focused training in approaches that help families rebuild trust, solve communication problems, and handle blended family or caregiver stress.

Therapy with Leanne centers on small, measurable steps and collaborative planning to support healthier family patterns.

Online approaches for families and parenting

Leanne commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal and family values and taking small steps toward them even when stress or difficult emotions appear. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps partners and family members identify and change interaction patterns that leave people feeling disconnected or misunderstood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each family or parent to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what will actually work in daily life rather than following a fixed formula.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats offer flexibility for busy parents and couples, making it easier to fit sessions around work, school, and caregiving. They also allow ongoing check-ins and practical support between live visits, so strategies can be practiced and adjusted as family routines change.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
