About Leanne

Leanne Perales is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Oklahoma with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

She helps people worried about family tension, blended family questions, fatherhood issues, or caregiving stress. She also addresses work stress, compassion fatigue, and problems tied to attachment or abandonment. Issues related to LGBT identity, body image, and career transitions are included among her focus areas.

Leanne uses approaches rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Sessions emphasize clear communication, open dialogue, and collaborative goal setting. The aim is to identify what matters to the client and to develop practical steps that align with those values.

Her background includes work with adults, couples, children, and families on anxiety, behavioral concerns, grief, and trauma. She describes her work as trauma-focused and client-centered, prioritizing honest conversation and straightforward planning. Those seeking help with relationship conflicts or parenting stress can expect practical conversation about next steps.

Leanne prefers to set goals together with each person and to track progress over time. People can expect focused conversations that move from understanding problems to trying manageable changes. For session options and scheduling, readers should confirm current online formats before booking.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Leanne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as part of her practice. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and building small actions that align with those values to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns shape current responses and helps people reshape their ways of relating to close others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses so techniques match what is changing in the client's life.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, or caregiving duties, and can reduce travel time. Some people find shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations easier on busy days, while others prefer longer video conversations for deeper emotional work. Ask about current session options when scheduling to pick what suits your routine.
