About Leanne
Leanne Perales is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Oklahoma who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strains, and the lasting effects of trauma. She works with adults on parenting concerns, grief, self-esteem, career changes, and issues related to intimacy and attachment. Her style is straightforward and calm to help people feel heard and understood quickly.
Leanne combines attachment-focused ideas with client-centered care to create practical, goal-focused plans.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear communication and setting goals together that reflect the client's values and everyday life. She draws on therapies that help clients notice emotions, respond differently to painful memories, and build stronger connections with others. Her approach is trauma-informed and rooted in acceptance and commitment principles.
That means Leanne helps people name difficult feelings, make space for them, and move toward what matters despite those feelings. She also uses emotionally focused strategies to address relationship patterns and attachment concerns that show up in close relationships. People meet in a relaxed, nonjudgmental space where openness is encouraged.
Leanne aims to translate therapy ideas into simple steps people can try between sessions. Progress is tracked by the changes clients want to see in daily life and in their closest relationships.
With five years of experience as an LMFT, Leanne brings practical tools and consistent support for adults coping with life transitions, caregiving stress, grief, or difficulties tied to family of origin and intimate relationships.

Online support
How attachment work and ACT translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions use conversation and guided exercises to identify those patterns and practice new ways of connecting with others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and emotions without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. In tele-sessions ACT tools often include mindfulness exercises and concrete behavioral steps to try between meetings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with each person and recommend techniques from attachment work, ACT, or client-centered methods that fit those needs. Plans are adjusted over time based on what feels most helpful and practical for daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and relationship work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging are convenient for short updates, homework check-ins, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while still working toward meaningful change.
