About Lorri
Lorri Perez is an LCSW practicing in Oklahoma with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship tensions, parenting concerns, and family of origin issues. She also supports people managing grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, intimacy questions, and ADHD-related challenges.
She uses practical talk and clear goals in sessions. Lorri draws on client-centered methods to focus on the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused steps are used to nudge progress when people feel stuck.
Many clients come to her because patterns from childhood or their family still influence current relationships. In sessions she talks through these patterns and helps people notice how old roles show up now. She also addresses attachment concerns, abandonment feelings, blended family stress, and fatherhood issues when they affect daily life.
Lorri helps people build clearer communication habits and manage caregiver stress or co-occurring mood problems. She works with issues that overlap, such as guilt, shame, impulsivity, and coping after disasters. Her approach tends to be practical and conversational, with attention to immediate steps someone can try between meetings.
People who want to begin are asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In practice this looks like the therapist following the client's lead, reflecting concerns, and helping clarify priorities. It helps when someone needs validation and clearer self-understanding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thinking, testing different responses, and trying small behavior experiments between meetings. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress management.
Motivational Interviewing supports moments when a person feels unsure about change. It uses careful questions and reflection to strengthen motivation and plan next steps. This can help with parenting goals, managing impulsivity, or starting new coping habits.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick what fits a client's goals and preferences. Sessions adapt over time as progress and priorities change.
If you plan to meet online, confirm available session formats before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and the kinds of sessions you prefer.
