About Lorri

Lorri Perez is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people facing stress and anxiety. She focuses on everyday struggles like mood changes, relationship strain, and the heavy feelings that follow loss or trauma. Her style is straightforward and compassionate so people can talk through what matters most to them.

She uses clear, practical methods to help clients build better communication and cope with strong emotions such as guilt, shame, anger, and grief. Sessions often look like setting small goals, trying different ways of thinking about problems, and practicing new responses to tough situations. Progress is measured in steps that fit each person's life rather than large, abstract promises.

Lorri pays attention to family dynamics, attachment concerns, and issues tied to parenting or blended households. She also works with people who struggle with ADHD, caregiver stress, first responder stress, and the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters. Her background makes her comfortable addressing both immediate coping needs and longer-term patterns that keep problems going.

People who want a calm, steady presence will find her approach direct and empathetic. She encourages clear communication and practical change over time. Lorri aims to help clients feel more in charge of their choices and better able to manage daily pressures.

Her practice is based in Oklahoma and sessions are conducted in English. She holds an LCSW credential and brings two decades of clinical experience to each meeting.

How Lorri's Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client, helping people feel heard and understood as they figure out next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their goals and strengthen the drive to make changes when motivation feels mixed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.

Confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce time spent traveling. It also lets people practice new skills between sessions in the settings where they live and work. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to make remote sessions practical and focused on real-life changes.
