About Jonetta
Jonetta Wakely is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting challenges. She also helps those coping with trauma, anger, self-esteem concerns, career issues, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
She meets clients on an equal footing and asks them what matters most. Jonetta treats each person as the expert on their own life and listens for practical changes that can make daily life easier. Her approach avoids moralizing and focuses on choices that move life in a better direction.
Jonetta uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside attachment, mindfulness, existential, and narrative ideas. In sessions she helps people notice patterns, try new responses, and practice skills that reduce distress. Work is concrete and aimed at improving how someone handles real situations.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice in Oklahoma and focused training in CBT and DBT approaches. She emphasizes straightforward strategies over jargon and helps people set clear, achievable goals. That practical focus shapes how she plans sessions and measures progress.
People who prefer an approach that blends skill-building with talk therapy often find this style useful. Jonetta encourages questions, regular check-ins about what is working, and adjusting the plan as needed to fit each person’s life.
How Jonetta’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice how early relationships shape current patterns. It focuses on building steadier connections and understanding emotional responses in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skill training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help people make different choices when emotions run high.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jonetta collaborates with each person to choose what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan when something is not helping.
