About Lorri
Lorri Perez is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She offers straightforward support for relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around intimacy and self esteem. Her style is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people manage day-to-day struggles and feel less overwhelmed.
She uses clear, hands-on methods to help people build better communication and coping skills.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on real problems like impulsivity, anger, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and family conflict. Lorri pays attention to how past attachments and family history affect present choices and relationships. Lorri draws on client-centered work to follow each person's priorities and on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
She also uses solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and motivational interviewing when people feel stuck or hesitant about change. Narrative approaches help people reframe difficult experiences when that fits the need. Her background includes two decades of clinical practice in Oklahoma and a license as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
She works with issues such as ADHD, abandonment, communication problems, first responder stress, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Sessions are conducted in English and are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a simple questionnaire and scheduling step match clients to her practice.
Approaches that fit online family and parenting work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's priorities and experience. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most, helping people set goals based on their own values and needs. This approach is useful when someone wants a supportive space to talk through family stress or parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tests small behavior changes to improve mood and reduce anxiety. CBT can be especially helpful for managing worry, mood issues, and everyday parenting challenges.
Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, respectful way to address mixed feelings about change. It helps people clarify their reasons for wanting something different and decide on practical next steps. This method pairs well with goal-focused work around communication, caregiver stress, or building routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then she will use or combine approaches that make sense for those needs in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and daily life while keeping therapy consistent. Many people appreciate the flexibility to choose how they connect while working on clear steps and small, practical changes.
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.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
