About Leanne

Leanne Perales is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Oklahoma who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental approach so clients can speak freely about what matters most to them. Her work includes support for parenting concerns, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues, and challenges like ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Leanne uses a client-centered style that keeps the person’s goals at the center of each session. She often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and strengthen important connections. Attachment-based ideas shape how she thinks about relationship patterns and emotional needs.

Sessions focus on clear communication and collaborative goal-setting. Leanne emphasizes practical steps people can try between meetings, and she checks in about what is working and what needs to change. She values straightforward conversation and openness about the therapy process.

Her background includes five years of clinical experience as an LMFT practicing in Oklahoma. That experience informs how she supports people through life transitions, relationship conflict, and trauma recovery. She aims to help clients build steady coping skills and healthier ways of relating.

People who choose Leanne can expect a relaxed, respectful atmosphere and a focus on values-based change. She works with concerns across family and intimate life, including issues tied to identity, communication, and healing from past hurts.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small committed steps toward those values. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and big life changes by teaching flexible ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions in close relationships and helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck. It is useful for intimacy-related struggles and for improving how partners or individuals express and respond to strong feelings.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Leanne will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals. She checks in about what feels helpful and adjusts strategies as therapy progresses.

Confirm current online session options before booking so you know how meetings are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commutes, and allow check-ins from different places. It also permits flexible scheduling that can better match parenting, work, or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to an online format so progress continues between sessions.
