About Leanne
Leanne Perales is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and the aftermath of trauma. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that fit each person's life.
Background and approach
Her work is collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to the values that matter most to the client. Leanne draws on approaches that emphasize emotions, relationships, and personal meaning.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and move toward meaningful action. Attachment-based ideas guide work on connection and safety in relationships.
Client-centered care keeps the conversation grounded in the client's priorities. She brings five years of clinical experience in Oklahoma and approaches each conversation with calm curiosity.
Sessions aim to be places where difficult topics can be said out loud and sorted into manageable steps. Leanne avoids jargon and explains therapeutic choices so clients know why a strategy is being tried.
Typical sessions include talking through current problems, identifying patterns that contribute to distress, and practicing small changes between meetings. For relationship concerns she helps people name emotional experience and improve communication.
For grief, trauma, and life transitions she helps people pace healing while returning to daily responsibilities. Leanne supports people dealing with parenting strain, work burnout, self-esteem troubles, and identity-related concerns.
She also works with clients coping with compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and complex family-of-origin issues. Her aim is to help clients build more workable habits and clearer connections to what they value.
How therapy methods translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and helps people take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships and helps people build safer, more trustful interactions. It is often used for relationship strain, attachment issues, and intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and everyday life. That collaborative decision is revisited as therapy continues so the plan changes if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls provide face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging work well for quick reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and travel while keeping focus on progress and goals.
