About Jonetta
Jonetta Wakely is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She focuses on practical steps that can reduce overwhelm and strengthen everyday functioning. Her style is straightforward and down-to-earth, aimed at people who want clear options and real change.
She believes each person knows their life best and asks clients to point out what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify choices that lead to a more satisfying life rather than labeling behavior good or bad. Jonetta encourages honest conversation and direct problem solving so clients can try new approaches between meetings. Her work draws from cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits.
She also uses skills from dialectical behavior approaches to build emotion regulation and practical decision-making. Mindfulness and attachment-informed ideas shape how she helps people handle relationships and recurring patterns. With 20 years of experience as an LPC, she brings long-term clinical exposure to common concerns like depression, anger, self-esteem, and career stress.
She also addresses more specific issues such as abandonment, codependency, dissociation, and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered through multiple online formats to fit different schedules and needs. Jonetta works collaboratively with each person to set goals and test workable strategies over time.
Approach and online therapy options that fit your life
Jonetta commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes building concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer decision-making when feelings run high.Finding the right approach is part of the process and is done together with the client. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then recommend methods to try and adjust as progress unfolds. This collaborative plan means methods can be combined or shifted based on what proves most useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful when visual connection helps, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports short updates or ongoing skill practice between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while still working with a licensed professional.
