About Leanne

Leanne Perales is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Oklahoma who focuses on work and wellbeing alongside personal and relationship concerns. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and career-related challenges. Her approach centers on collaboration so clients set goals that match what matters most to them.

Leanne uses clear, conversation-based methods so people can talk through what feels overwhelming. She brings together Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment ideas, and emotionally-focused work to support lasting changes in behavior and connection. Sessions emphasize practical steps tied to personal values and everyday life.

She describes her style as client-centered and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on open communication. That means she listens first, then suggests tools the client can try between sessions. Progress is tracked through goals chosen by the person in therapy.

Over five years as an LMFT, Leanne has worked with a range of life and relationship issues, including parenting, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses topics like attachment wounds, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and first responder issues.

People who want direct conversation and clear, value-based goals may find her approach approachable. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions and plan practical next steps.

How these approaches shape online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and building small actions that align with those values. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns influence current relationships and helps people create healthier bonds and clearer communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can shift as needs change.

Confirm the available online session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and keep momentum between appointments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when days are tight or phone-friendly alternatives when video is difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these approaches to remote sessions and tailor activities to everyday routines.
