About Jonetta
Jonetta Wakely is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, depression, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, and career concerns. She meets clients where they are and treats each person as the expert on their own life.

Background and approach
Sessions emphasize skills people can use between appointments to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Jonetta draws from several therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, along with attachment-focused and mindfulness methods. These give her a range of tools to help with emotional regulation, thinking patterns, and relationship patterns.
With 20 years of clinical experience and an LPC credential, she practices in Oklahoma and offers support that balances structure with empathy. Her style is practical, direct, and respectful of each person’s values and goals. People can expect clear, doable steps and a focus on choices that fit their life.
Jonetta aims to make therapy feel useful from the first sessions onward.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Jonetta often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, and repetitive negative thinking.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques that focus on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-style skills can be useful for strong emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulsive reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend techniques that fit those priorities. This decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Online therapy offers a range of session formats: video calls for full face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, keep momentum between appointments, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
