Jonetta Wakely, LPC

Jonetta Wakely is an LPC and a counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting strains, trauma, and depression. She aims to meet each person where they are and listens to what matters most to them. Her approach focuses on practical choices that move life toward what the client values rather than judging past behavior.

She treats the client as the expert on their life and asks questions to learn what has worked and what has not. Sessions emphasize clear, doable steps people can try between meetings. Jonetta prefers to look at what choices will create a more satisfying day-to-day life and which habits get in the way.

Her background spans 20 years as a licensed professional counselor in Oklahoma. She draws on several approaches, including cognitive behavioral methods and skills from dialectical behavior models, as well as attachment and mindfulness ideas. These inform how she structures sessions and homework.

In practical terms, therapy with Jonetta usually involves talking through specific problems, trying new ways of responding, and checking what changes feel helpful. She can support people coping with parenting stress, anger, self-esteem concerns, career pressures, and issues like abandonment or attachment worries.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. Jonetta accepts clients from within and outside the United States and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches you can expect in online sessions

Jonetta uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT often focuses on small experiments and clear steps to reduce anxiety or change patterns that cause stress.

She also works with skills from dialectical behavior work which emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better ways to handle conflict. Those skills are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when old reactions cause problems in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or offering sessions when someone cannot be on camera. Licensed professionals can use online work to teach behavioral skills, guide experiments between sessions, and review progress in ways that fit daily routines.
