About Lorri
Lorri Perez is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She focuses on practical steps that reduce overwhelm and strengthen everyday coping. Her style is warm and straightforward, aiming to make sessions feel calm and productive from the start.
Lorri draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problems and tell different stories about their lives.
Background and approach
She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and create a space where clients feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when clients want concrete skills for managing thoughts and behaviors. She has worked with people dealing with caregiver strain, blended family issues, attachment wounds, and the fallout from traumatic events.
Lorri helps clients address shame, guilt, anger, and struggles with intimacy. She also supports those managing ADHD-related challenges and mood concerns such as disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. Sessions often focus on clear, doable goals.
That might include improving communication, making sense of family of origin patterns, or managing intense emotions in the moment. Lorri mixes short-term problem solving with deeper narrative work, depending on what a person needs. Lorri practices in Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English.
She combines clinical experience with a practical, people-first approach. New clients typically begin by matching to her through a brief intake questionnaire and then scheduling a session that fits their routine.

Online session options
How Lorri’s Approaches Work Online
People often start by talking through stories that shape their lives, which is central to Narrative Therapy. In online sessions Lorri helps clients name problem stories and try new storylines that reduce self-blame and open up options. Client-Centered Therapy provides a listening-focused way to work; sessions emphasize understanding a person’s perspective and building trust so the client feels comfortable exploring emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Lorri will talk with each person about goals, daily stresses, and what has helped before. Together they decide whether to focus on story work, skill-building, or a mix of both, and that plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let a therapist observe facial cues while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are good for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a work break. These options help make regular support more manageable alongside family, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
