Jonetta Wakely , LPC

Jonetta Wakely is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and depression. She also supports parents dealing with parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, and career-related concerns. Jonetta works with people who face attachment struggles, abandonment fears, caregiving stress, and the fallout from separation or divorce.

Her approach treats each person as the expert on their life. She listens first and asks what matters most to the client. Therapy focuses on practical choices and on identifying actions that create a life worth living. Jonetta avoids labeling behavior as simply good or bad and instead looks at what works in day-to-day life.

She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical behavior concepts are used to weigh what strategies help and which ones should change. Mindfulness and attachment-based ideas also shape sessions to build awareness and safer emotional connections.

Jonetta has been practicing for 20 years and brings steady, pragmatic care to each session. She aims for straightforward, usable steps clients can try between meetings. Sessions are conversational and focused on problem solving, not on jargon or overanalysis.

People in Oklahoma and beyond can work with her in English. She accepts international clients and uses a range of online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Approach-focused care through online therapy

Jonetta often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her online practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing more effective ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better decision making when feelings run high.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before to help choose methods that fit each person. Together the therapist and client check progress and adjust strategies as needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions can be a good option when connection speed is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow ongoing support between meetings and can fit into busy schedules or different time zones. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
