Lorri Perez

Lorri Perez is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life changes. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. Lorri aims to create a steady, respectful space where people can speak freely about what feels overwhelming.

Her style is practical and person-focused. She listens to each person's story and helps them identify patterns that get in the way. Sessions often include learning clearer communication, building coping skills, and practicing ways to respond differently in heated moments.

Lorri draws on several therapy approaches to meet real needs. She uses client-centered work to follow the client's lead, cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior, and motivational interviewing to find personal reasons for change. Narrative and solution-focused techniques help people reframe stories and set small, manageable goals.

Over two decades she has supported people dealing with trauma, grief, attachment and abandonment wounds, caregiver stress, and complex mood issues. She also addresses concerns like impulsivity, forgiveness, fatherhood issues, and first responder stress.

Lorri practices in Oklahoma and offers sessions in English. To start, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability. She emphasizes practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist mirrors concerns and helps people clarify what matters most, which is useful for stress, relationship strain, and anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to choose methods that match goals, needs, and personal preferences. That may mean combining listening-based client-centered work with CBT exercises or using motivational interviewing to build commitment to change.

Session formats are not listed in this biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full session isn't needed. They also let people continue care through life transitions and reduce the need to rearrange work or caregiving schedules.
