About Lorri

Lorri Perez is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oklahoma with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are juggling stress, anxiety, depression, parenting pressures, and relationship strain. She also supports people coping with trauma, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Her sessions focus on practical communication skills and clear steps to manage mood and stress. She helps people name patterns that get in the way, such as attachment wounds or impulsive reactions. Conversations often include ways to handle caregiver burden and blended family tensions without medical or diagnostic language dominating the talk.

Lorri uses several established approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She draws on client-centered listening to understand immediate concerns. She brings in cognitive behavioral strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Solution-focused techniques are used when a person wants quick, actionable steps to reduce conflict at home or manage overwhelming days.

She also works with narrative ideas to help people reframe painful events and with motivational interviewing when someone is deciding on change. These methods are chosen to match goals such as improving communication, reducing anxiety, or coping with grief. The work is collaborative and paced to what a person can handle between sessions.

People who come to Lorri can expect straightforward conversation about what is happening now, practical tools to try between meetings, and review of progress over time. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs clearer thinking about family roles, caregiver stress, or painful emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into manageable parts. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and changing patterns that cause daily conflict or overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. That collaborative process means strategies can change as needs do, with regular check-ins about what helps and what does not.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are offered before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, or caregiver duties. It can also allow shorter check-ins when days are tight or conversations that use worksheets and CBT exercises without extra travel.
