About Lorri
Lorri Perez is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Oklahoma with 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and trauma and abuse. Sessions address practical problems like communication, caregiver stress, and coping with life changes.
Perez works in a straightforward way. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking and habits. Then she offers simple strategies to try differently. Conversations are concrete and goal-focused so people can use new skills soon after a session.
Her background includes long experience with mood disorders and interpersonal problems. She often helps people who feel stuck by exploring attachment issues, family-of-origin patterns, and blended family stress. She also supports those dealing with grief, anger, guilt, and shame.
Perez uses several practical approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) features in her work to identify thought patterns and test small behavior changes. Client-Centered Therapy is used to follow each person’s perspective and priorities. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques add short-term planning and step-by-step goals.
She also draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult experiences and on trauma-focused methods when abuse or traumatic events are part of the picture. Over time the focus shifts to skills that reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
People interested in starting are encouraged to review online therapy options, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session to discuss goals and next steps.
How CBT and practical approaches are used in online sessions
Online work can include short structured exercises and problem-solving conversations that mirror in-person sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying alternative responses; it helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes following the client’s priorities and reflecting their perspective to clarify goals and next steps. Motivational Interviewing supports change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening motivation through guided questions and small action plans.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate to decide which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion helps set concrete, short-term goals and a practical plan to test new skills between sessions.
