About Lorri
Lorri Perez is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or big life changes. She listens carefully and helps each person find clear steps to feel more steady and in control. Her work focuses on practical tools and simple changes that make daily life easier.
Sessions often include learning ways to manage strong emotions, improving communication, and addressing relationship strain.
Background and approach
She is experienced supporting people who are coping with trauma, grief, anger, intimacy concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. Perez uses approaches that center the person in the room and build on what already works for them. She also uses techniques that help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and brief goal-focused methods for moving forward.
These methods are chosen to fit each person's goals and needs. Over two decades she has supported people facing attachment and family-of-origin issues, caregiver stress, impulsivity, and problems connected to first responder and fatherhood roles. She helps people process guilt, shame, abandonment, and co-occurring mood issues in manageable steps rather than all at once.
Clients can expect a calm, straightforward style. Sessions aim to break down problems into workable parts, test small changes, and build new habits. Her Oklahoma practice is conducted in English and designed to help people make steady progress toward clearer days.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their experience, offering a listening, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead to identify priorities and next steps. This helps when someone needs a steady place to sort out feelings and make decisions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or tackle ADHD-related organization and focus struggles. Solution-focused work emphasizes short-term goals and practical steps, which can be useful when a person wants clear strategies and quick wins.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, personal preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the work practical and aligned with the client's needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for conversations that benefit from visual cues, phone can work when lower bandwidth is needed, chat is good for brief check-ins, and messaging lets someone reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and maintain steady contact while working toward goals.
