About Leanne
Leanne Perales is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Oklahoma with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults, couples, and families on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, grief, trauma, and stress from life changes. She also addresses parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, caregiving stress, and concerns related to identity and self-esteem.
Leanne uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods. In sessions she helps people name painful emotions, notice interaction patterns, and try new ways of responding. Goals are set together and tied to each person’s values and priorities.
Her approach emphasizes clear communication and straightforward work. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and practical steps people can take between sessions. She combines listening with exercises that help people practice different emotional responses and relationship moves.
Leanne has experience with a wide range of life stressors, including parenting strain, blended family issues, caregiver burden, first responder stress, and work-related pressure. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, family-of-origin wounds, body image, and grief.

How Leanne uses EFT and related approaches online
Leanne draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name sticky emotions and to change interaction patterns that keep problems repeating. EFT often helps when relationship patterns, attachment fears, or hard-to-name feelings drive ongoing conflict or distance.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. Attachment-based work is used to track how early relationship patterns influence current connections and to test new ways of relating in the present.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Leanne will talk with a client about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try and how to adapt them for the client’s situation. That selection can shift as the work progresses.
