About Joly
Joly Kettles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, anger, parenting challenges, and major life changes. She uses down-to-earth language and straightforward tools to help people feel more capable and steady. Joly brings 13 years of experience to her work and focuses on practical steps a person can use between sessions.
Her style is warm and person-centered. Sessions aim to build on a client's strengths and priorities.
Background and approach
She listens first, then uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and other methods to shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. Joly often blends short-term, solution-focused steps with deeper conversations about attachment, family dynamics, and role changes. That combination can help when life feels out of balance after loss, separation, or caregiving strain.
She also supports people coping with trauma, domestic violence effects, and compassion fatigue. In the room she works collaboratively to make a plan that fits daily life. That plan might include concrete skills for managing anxiety, communication strategies for strained relationships, or goals for rebuilding confidence and purpose.
Joly keeps language plain and focuses on actions that can make a real difference. She offers sessions in English and sees clients located in Oklahoma. Her background includes work with a broad range of concerns such as blended family issues, aging and geriatric topics, codependency, career worries, midlife transitions, and first responder stress.
Joly aims to meet people where they are and help them move forward.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person as they find their own solutions. Online sessions give space for those conversations while allowing the therapist to reflect what matters most and help clients set clear, personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this usually means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small skills to change reactions to stress, anxiety, and relationship triggers.
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their goals and strengthen motivation to make changes. It pairs well with other techniques when someone is uncertain about next steps or needs encouragement to try new approaches.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That process may change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule around parenting, work, or caregiving duties and to maintain momentum between sessions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach coping skills, practice communication strategies, and set goals while staying connected from wherever clients are.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
