About Lorri

Lorri Perez offers care for people seeking help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, trauma, and a range of intimacy and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

As an LCSW with 20 years of clinical experience in Oklahoma, she works with clients facing parenting and family challenges, ADHD-related issues, anger and impulsivity, and the emotional fallout of loss and life transitions. Her practice emphasizes understanding each person's story and strengths.

Lorri blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered methods and motivational interviewing to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, build practical coping strategies, and increase motivation for change. She also draws on narrative and solution-focused techniques when exploring family of origin dynamics, attachment difficulties, blended family stress, and caregiver strain.

Throughout her work she aims to create a warm, respectful space where difficult feelings such as guilt, shame, or abandonment can be explored and processed. Lorri helps clients strengthen communication, repair relationships where possible, and develop skills to manage mood symptoms and everyday stressors while pursuing clearer personal goals.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Many people benefit from ways of working that focus on thoughts, feelings, and practical skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete strategies for reducing anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard and supported while they explore attachment, relationship, and self-esteem concerns. Motivational Interviewing uses guided conversation to build readiness and commitment for change, which can be helpful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lorri works with each person to clarify goals, consider what has or hasn’t helped in the past, and select methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on progress and feedback so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging make therapy more accessible and flexible for busy schedules or those who prefer remote options. These formats allow for consistent contact, a variety of interaction styles, and the ability to continue therapeutic work while balancing family, work, and other commitments.
