Leanne Perales, LMFT

Leanne Perales is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Oklahoma who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on what matters to each person and sets goals together with them. Leanne aims to create a calm, open space where people can speak honestly about their concerns.

In sessions she emphasizes clear communication and collaborative goal-setting. The work tends to be practical and grounded - identifying small changes that add up. She encourages openness and avoids judgment while helping people reconnect with their values.

People who choose to work with Leanne can expect straightforward, value-driven work that centers their goals. She asks questions, listens, and supports steps that fit each person’s life and priorities.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work fits

Leanne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most and take small, values-based actions. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and when someone feels stuck or unsure of next steps.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. That approach can help with intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and improving communication in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Leanne will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is working and adjusts the plan together over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions because they focus on conversation, values, and practical steps that can be practiced between meetings. Licensed professionals can help tailor session rhythm and focus so therapy fits everyday life.
